Hi,
Does enyone know if the Amiga 500 / 500+ A520 Modulator can be used on NTSC Televisions? I am in the uk where we use PAL. Please help.

The Amiga 520 video adaptor as shipped to NTSC customers in the U.S. specifically notes instructions on page#2:

The modulator should be specific to your region. If you have a US modulator then it is going to be NTSC, if you have a UK one it should be PAL.

If you have a television that can display NTSC then it shouldn't be a problem. Some VCRs and TVs available in the UK can do that.

If you try to connect an NTSC modulator to a PAL only TV then you are unlikely to get a image worth viewing.
