Hi, The PAL vrs NTSC TV standard complicated things when collecting home computers from other countries.
In New Zealand we are on PAL. PAL Atari 800s are rarer in the world that NTSC ones. That being the case I recently settled on an NTSC one for my collection. Hooking it up to a couple of my PAL TVs (via composite video) I was surprised to see a reasonable colour image. I then dropped in a UAV video enhancement board and was surprised to see a very good colour image! I'm assuming it's because composite input into "relatively" modern can handle NTSC and PAL? Is this a reasonable thought? The UAV is not an NTSC converter, and even the inventor was surprised this worked.
