Default tv antenna, any simple standards that work?

If you are trying to use this in the North American, South American
markets, no wonder it doesnt work! North american uses NTSC standard,
while PAL/and SECAM are European standards! Think there is also another
standard for Austrailia/New Zeland, tho they might also use PAL.
(and this is before you consider the tv station frequencies difference)!

I wonder if you are right. Looked at the original posting, and noticed he
did not exactly say he *lived* in Luxenburg. BTW, some of these countries
use 60 Hz PAL, which would not work with a set bought in EU either. RF
frequencies are guaranteed not to line up, because the channel spacing is
different.
