[ILUG] Tv Standards (Was: No Limits ? - No Service !)

[Jerry Walsh]

Ahhh so that's where i was getting confused :-)

I was just looking at http://www.pixera.com/PixeraCatalog/Picolo.htm
and trying to figure out why no country in the list used PAL-60.

BTW, I just noticed that the URL I posted just awhile ago was
some muscle building video site.... just incase you're wondering
it was a purely random selection!

Cheers,

Jerry.
