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.
