One is PAL (Phase Alternating Line) standard, and the other

PAL was adopted in European countries while NTSC is adopted
in USA, Canada, Mexico and so forth.
If you have a PAL televsion, you have to set the TV Type op-
tion to PAL. In this case, if a service you wish to watch is NTSC
standard, the digital receiver converts it into PAL standard for
your PAL television. However, its quality would somewhat
fall. The opposite case brings about the same result.
The best thing is to watch PAL services with a PAL television
and to watch NTSC services with a NTSC television. How-
