... You need to know the precise make and model of the TV he has purchased. Without knowing that the advice is all navel gazing.

I have four TVs that will work with either PAL or NTSC, 50Hz or 60Hz and 110 volts to 240 volts.

Assuming there is no difference in HDMI on either side of the Atlantic...
Any source with DVI/HDMI should work... ATSC tuner box, digital cable box, game console, computer, upconverting DVD player. For NTSC analog sources (cable, VCR, older video games), he could get an outboard tuner/converter box: search eBay for LCD monitor TV tuner, and there's boxes for under $50.

But, as that other guy said, he might have done better to buy one back home. Maybe he could sell his flatscreen to someone else in Europe and save the risk and hassle of shipping, and voltage and TV system issues.

Hi there

> You need to know the precise make and model of the TV he has purchased

Quite true.
If he bought the TV from the PX rather than a local dealer, then the chances increase that it will be an international model.

Besides analog PAL, there's digital DVB in Europe.
