Cable? ROK DOESN'T have over the air TV? Never mind. I suppose that
DPRK is using a completely different type of TV set, so you'd need to
get your hands on one of them to get DPRK TV. It's likely not a 24/7
service because of electricity problems-it probably shuts off at 9pm
local time, when Pyongyang goes dark.


ROK has broadcast TV, but it's used very little these days with nearly 100%
penetration with CATV and satellite (SkyLife Korea only). The OTA stuff is
KBS1, KBS2, MBC, SBC, CBS (Christian Broadcasting Service), EBS1 & EBS2
(Educational Broadcasting Service) and AFN.

ROK uses NTSC System M with US channelization (but NICAM stereo audio
instead of BTSC).

DPRK uses PAL system K, IIRC, with an odd channelization (what little there
is), so the systems are incompatible.

Would the normal multi-standard TV sets available on the market be
able to tune DPRK TV in? The system must be compatible with other PAL
standards, because I've read about -- and seen one particular video
showing -- second-hand television sets from China being smuggled
across the DPRK's northern border for sale. They're sold at a
substantial premium.

Not to mention that portable TV, long a stronghold of analog broadcast
signals is now totally dominated by DMB (Digital Multimedia
Broadcasting), which allows you to watch and listen to digital
broadcasts on special cellphones or other such receivers.

Sucks that this kind of service isn't quite available in the USA.

Seeing as you brought it up, who are they and why do they suck? How much
did they lose for you?

This just shows that this is a great country, where a welfare queen
gets enough from the dole to be a big time tinvestor.
