Should I bring my LCD? Will my DVDs work on an NZ player? What if I get a Blu-Ray player in NZ? What are implications of changing from PAL to DVB? I probably am mis-using some terminology, but I hope my point is clear. I know these questions are probably dumb. I won't be stuck watching them on my computer, will I? I know DVD players are cheap though, and I need to get a Blu-Ray anyway, so if I get a new DVD player in NZ (that is meant for Region 4 PAL compatible disks), would it work for Region 1 NTSC compatible DVDs (that are not Blu-Ray)? I have about 200 DVDs (including all my Star Trek TNG, Enterprise, 24, Office, and Flight of the Conchords, so I have to have something to play them on). I understand there are hacks to make it region independent, but I should not assume it would work with PAL, right? What about with the change to DVB? Does that imply that DVDs in the future might be compatible?

Assuming the power input is compatible, should I expect it to work for broadcast TV? What about Freeview? SkyTV? OTOH, it is 3 years old and technology has improved, so unless it is the only way to watch my DVDs, I don't suppose I'd want it anyway, right? I have a 48" LCD that is quite nice, and it has 1 HDMI input. So I'll probably give those to my brother.
#CHANGING PAL TO NTSC DVD TV#
I don't see the point in bringing my old analog TV sets as they would not work anyway (I think). I am coming from the US, so DVDs are NTSC (and I guess VHS is as well, right? I have a few old tapes left). I've seen a couple of threads on this, but 1) they are a few years old, and 2) I'm slow.
