I think the tuner can is different even if the rest of the electronics 
are the same and that is why they write 'either in the last sentence:

"The WinTV-PVR-250's TV tuner and S-Video/composite video inputs are 
for either PAL or NTSC"
                                                                         
                                        ^^^^^^
