We live overseas and brought our US televisions with us. Of course PAL video doesn’t display on our TV so we bought the Altona HDMI converter box. It’s easy to hook up. We plugged our cable box to the Altona converter and out to our TV. The picture and sound doesn’t lose any quality at all. You can also easily use it if you had a DVD player you bought overseas. Great product.

Finally, I’m able to use the TV I bought from US in India. I always knew about the PAL vs NTSC issue, but I thought this was a non-issue with HD programming(since the resolution was the same everywhere). Only after hooking up my Sun HD satellite box, i discovered that does not work either. Ordered this from Amazon and it works pretty well. HD channels look great, and SD quality is acceptable.

I originally made the mistake of assuming that an HD satellite box in Europe (Sweden) would on my Samsung 52″ HD TV from the U.S. Wouldn’t it be nice if HD was just HD? I guess the refresh rate is different or the base resolution of the HD box is 576 or something like that but ultimately they weren’t able to talk to each other.
So I had one of these converters sent to me and it solved the problem. Installation involved nothing more than connecting HDMI cables to the input and output and plugging it in. Hi-def channels look great and Standard Def channels look as mediocre as they always have.
The unit includes a transformer for all power sources (110-240v, 50/60hz) plus 4 plug adapters for use in the U.S., U.K., the European mainland and one that I think is for China/Australia (with 2 angled, flat prongs). The unit is also pretty small at about 6″x4″x1″.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with this little converter.

We just moved to Germany and my Samsung LCD TV did not work with the PAL signal here. We ordered the Atlona Pal HDMI to NTSC converter and within 5 minutes of opening the box, we had a great digital picture using the HDMI connections. I’m so glad we didn’t just go buy a new TV!

I wanted something to simply plug’n'play my UK 42″ Samsung flatscreen TV after moving to the US. Not the normal direction for electronic goods to move, but this product has worked flawlessly since installation. I cannot give it 5 stars as I haven’t tested it more thoroughly and don’t want to mislead.
