I have a few foriegn sets in my collection. While a dual NTSC/PAL DVD player worked OK, the Aurora worldwide converter, which also functions as a TBC, was far and away the most elegant solution. The cost may be a turnoff for some, but if you're paying to have a set shipped to Europe anyway, Darryl's box is a drop in the proverbial bucket...
