I do have a question though. What is the point of SECAM? All I know
about it is that the French use it (still?), that the picture is
stored in the same format as PAL but the colour in a different format.

Hi!


Hungary uses PAL Secam.

My Lessons in PAL and PAL-Secam are far away, being more than satisfied
yet, but Video Recorder do need a Secam capable Tuner, otherwise you
receipt B/W, AFAIK.

Beside that, any TV here is capable of NTSC (NTSC-Tuner maybe not, but
it can snychronise 60HZ, so long as I know TV-Sets), PAL, PAL+ (even
the B/W from the seventies can receipt PAL+ ;-), with bars, of course)
and
Secam PAL.
