US system is NTSC (Never The Same Colour) and with the faster refresh rate (60Hz)..
Having said that, *most* TV's will do multi format (PAL-BG, PAL-I, NTSC etc).. When I have played with PAL on an NTSC unit, normally you do get a picture, except there is no colour as the colour sub-carrier is at a different frequency for NTSC.
Maybe a PAL-NTSC converter might be ok..
Not sure about HDMI (too much wank value), havent played with it much, Im an old-school dog, I like my old simple composite video on my CRT 80cm TV - its just as good as any of the multi-dollar crap Ive seen at friends places...
There probably are others here that have played HDMI, who may be able to comment further on that..
