Singtel

I connected my US NTSC Format TV to my MioTV HD box using a DVI cable and it works well - no seperate converter needed. However, since the cable out is DVI, and not HDMI, you'll need to connect audio output through either fiber optic cable if your TV or receiver supports it, or through standard RCA ...

Thanks for the response. My TV does have several DVI inputs. Apologies, but I assumed all new TVs have these inputs. In fact, from a pricing standpoint, it only really makes sense to bring a US TV to singapore if it's bigger than 42 inches. I found that the <=42 inch TVs are almost competitive in pr...

try mustafa. I went to sim lim, and they have good selection on the first floor, but their "fixed prices" were much higher than mustafa. You can get a 2 pin to Sing adapter for $1.80.

NTSC TV

Can anybody definitively post how an NTSC TV can work in Singapore. Since my company paid for shipping, and because I saw TVs were 2-2.5x more expensive in SG than the US (particularily with the holidays/superbowl sales), I decided to ship my TV, as well as the rest of my A/V equipment. I bought a 2...
