I might just be reading/remembering this wrong, but PAL is the European type, and NTSC is the North American type. So unless you got something switched up by accident, the European ponies are actually SLOWER.

^PAL has a higher resolution though. PAL60 however is slightly more confusing. That said, digital signals are pretty much universal these days, barring how the television outputs them.

I'm still holding on for Sky's QuadHD that's due in the near future.

Oh great, first HD-Ready 720p, then Full HD 1080p.
And no that wasn't enough now we need 3D @ 1080p.

But now we can look forward to something called "QuadHD" with (or without 3D).

Even if I could sh!t Money (Which I sadly can't), This isn't very Green now is it?

@269: You are correct, sir. PAL is 50 Hz, NTSC is 60 Hz. (In the analog days, each frame was interlaced, with only half the scanlines sent each clock cycle, which is why the frame rates above are what they are.) But most TV broadcasts can interpolate frames when converting from one standard to the other, so they play just as fast either way. It only really makes a difference with old video games, where the timing is tied to the TV's refresh rate instead of the internal clock. Since most of those games were made in America and Japan (also NTSC), the PAL versions end up feeling sluggish.
