Would a DVD-R work in a portable DVD player?

Will tv work on USA portable dvd player in UK?

  • i have a portable dvd player with a TV tuner that i bought in the USA i was wondering if i could watch TV in the UK with it.

  • Answer:

    In a word: no. There are too many things that could've create anamoly on-screen, disregard the Region Code gaffe about DVDs I am talking about TV; tuner for one, is it tuned to go to British channels? This is probably OK since I have a Taiwanese tuner working wonderfully in Canada. But next part is not OK, European TV signals use PAL but Taiwan/Japan/US/Canada use NTSC, even if you can hook them all up there would be picture anamoly as PAL signal going into a NTSC box the phase is all wrong. I am not aware of any PAL-NTSC phase shifter adapters.

There are few things more frustrating than trying to get US electronic equipment to work in the UK. Save yourself the hassle - buy what works locally and sell the thing that doesn't on eBay to someone going to the US.
