But since you bring it up, what would the digital version of SECAM and PAL be
called?"
It is unlikely that Walmart is carrying multi-system TV's but there are a
number of multi-systems sellers on line like THIS ONE.
Most of the world other than the US and Canada use DVB-T for their digital
standard. Pal, NTSC & SECAM are analog broadcasting standards.
This WIKI article explains the region code thing fairly well. Basically the
region code is just an incovenience since you can get region free, multi-system
players and with a computer system you can play multiple systems and remove
region codes and encoding from DVD's.
On computer DVD drives you get 5 region changes and then the player locks
itself to the 5th region so you should take the 15 minutes or so that it takes
to copy a DVD to your hard drive and remove the region code before playing
movies from regions other than your home region.
