The simple answer is "probably not". In fact I don't think the modulator makes that much difference since the composite video (in PAL format) is created by the MC13077P chip. The modulator is only there to add the correct carrier frequencies (which are different in the US as (a) the US uses TV transmissions in the VHF band while the UK uses UHF, and (b) the difference between the picture carrier and the sound carrier is slightly different). On the other hand, if you get a PAL TV then it doesn't matter much, but you may need to use the SCART output since the TV might not be capable of receiving UHF transmissions (unless you import it from the UK, that is). imc
