<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am using PVR 350 (marked with NTSC on its
surface) in the U.S. and it works great! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll send my current Shuttle PVR 350 box to a
friend where PAL-D is used. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> What's the best solution that requires the
minimal work to make the same MythTV box work with PAL-D?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This seems a daunting task.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I see two possible
solutions: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Is it possible to have an external converter
that converts PAL signal to NTSC sigal so that the same MythTV box does not need
to change anything. If so, it seems to be the best choice! Just connect
PVR350 to the cable through the converter.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) replace the NTSC model with a new PVR350 PAL
card, would it just be as simple as changing NTSC settings in
/etc/modules.conf , </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>and no new packages need to
be </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>downloaded/installed/uninstalled? If so, this solution
also seems really simple.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any thoughts to make the transition smooth?
</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks a lot!</FONT></DIV>
