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.
