USA to Poland: Can 60 Sony LCD HD with NTSC Compatibility Receive Internet TV Abroad?

Can equipment from the USA be useful in our country? I mean the TV. I use a 60 'Sony LCD HD to receive cable and satellite TV, but it is also connected to the computer. My question concerns the ability to receive TV from the Internet on Sony, which is NTSC-compatible here in the US. Will such a set continue to work when receiving TV from the Internet? I plan to take Sony to receive NTSC recorded or lost films. Please help...

If you want to watch movies on youtube, you can easily watch yourself. So what is this question?

What about the TV reception itself? Ntsc and Pal etc? Does it make sense to download such equipment to Poland and count on the fact that it will work with the system that is in our country?

DVB-T digital terrestrial television in Poland MPEG-4 in the States MPEG-2, i.e. no reception.
Poland PAL States NTSC
Polish Fonia 6.5MHz FM modulation 4.5MHz states AM modulation
Power Poland 230V United 120V (sometimes TV power supply is 110V-230V)

I was dealing with the SHARP tv (can't remember the model) from the USA.
The customer bought because they told him in the store that he had a PAL system, but it had a 120V power supply, so he bought a transformer.
After connecting to the cable, it turned out that the picture is black and white and no audio.
In the manual I found out that this tv supports single input PAL system, although it was a PAL system used in South America, but I connected a VCR to this input and the picture was in color.
I recommended my client a VCR with a damaged mechanism as a TV tuner and the problem was solved.
Look in the manual if there is anything about the PAL system, if so, you can try, and if not, don't bring it.
This tv had several HDMI inputs, I tried to connect the "n" decoder, but there was always HDCP error.

US audio is 4.5MHZ not FM and AM, PAL applicable in AP is 3.58MHZ, the same subcarrier as for NTSC. Someone sold a similar TV from Canada in Poland and got a price for it that did not cover transport and the risk that the matrix would be damaged.

Button: check in the menu of the receiver whether it is possible to change the TV system. If so, how and in what options.
This applies to both analog and digital broadcasts, because the American digital TV is completely incompatible with the European DVB. But the better receivers manufactured for the US market were multi-system, so you need to check whether it is a full or a "reduced" version.
If there is such a thing as choosing "Country", you have to check whether POLAND, E. EUROPE or even GERMANY is there.
I would not count on such bells and whistles as MPEG4 AVC H264.
At worst, you have a large monitor.
How's the power? universal or US only ...?

I have a TV Sharp LC-52LE640U at home bought in the USA and a regular set-top box for 100 PLN for DVB-t works on terrestrial TV, the manual contains a description that the TV has the atsc / ntsc system and when it comes to choosing the country, it's only the USA , Canada and probably Mexico ... So it's not that bad - I'm curious how someone will explain it from the technical point of view, since there are so many reservations above. TV bought over a year ago and works through a transformer ...

You mix up a few issues ...

Each receiver, regardless of what country it is from and what country it is in the software menu, will work with external decoders. It is then an ordinary monitor with speakers and should be treated as such.

A completely different problem is what signal transmission systems this receiver can choose. In the USA, Canada and Mexico, the terrestrial signal is / was broadcast in the NTSC standard - and this is the analogue transmission system - of the corresponding European PAL and SECAM systems.
ATSC is a digital broadcasting system, the equivalent of the European MPEG2 and MPEG4

Power supply is a separate problem and it is solved differently in different products. There are those that have only 110 / 60Hz but there are also those that have 90-240V / 50-60 Hz. In almost all modern receivers, the power supply has a large converter powered by rectified mains voltage.

I do not fully understand what the phrase used earlier means:

So, is the "large monitor" about some image defects in relation to the basic TV capabilities in system compatibility, or is it simply the need to use a decoder? Looking at it, the picture is nice and it is from the room antenna (a few km from the house there is a mast), and yet it is not connected via hdmi (I am a layman, but it probably contributes to the improvement). However, I do not have any comparative scale to judge whether this is what it should be ... If it was not MPEG4 AVC H264, how to check if it really is not?

You think right ...

Any receiver in this class is basically a good monitor with a built-in tuner. If the tuner is useless - even because of non-compliance with the standards of signals broadcast in a given area - then "the monitor will - or at least should - work properly with an external decoder, which acts as an external tuner.

MPEG4 AVC H264 is just a standard for signal transmission, nothing more. The receiver works internally according to the rules defined in its operating system. That's in a nutshell ....

Thank you for the answer, the explanation. For my part, I consider the topic closed.
