Question:

I'm considering buying an assortment of electrical equipment whilst on holiday in the US. Will they work in UK

I'm considering buying an assortment of electrical equipment whilst on holiday in the US. Will they work in UK? Thanks in advance1) TV. Gut feeling is that the digi tuner (NTSC/PAL) will be different and its going to be a nightmare with the actual power.2) Nintendo DS. I think i will be ok on this one as games are not region enabled. Charger maybe an interesting one.3) Cable modem. No idea :) but i need a cable modem for home.4) is there such a thing as a DAB radio in the US? I saw some really strange radio setups but no DAB.5) Digital Video Camera. Makes to avoid for the change to UK?Thanks again for reading and taking time to reply.

Answer:

Isn't it great us brits being so much richer than the americans two dollars to a pound the poor things. You're doing a really good thing buying from them it's like buying charity christmas cards gives you feeling of helping those less fortunate.
I would not buy ANYTHING with a video output. In the US most video-related equipment supports only NTSC. This takes care of TV, DS, and Video camera. I doubt the cable modem will also work. US has HD radio, which will not work either.
