I´m so sad

Isn't Brazil the only country to have adopted PAL-M (525 lines, 60Hz, 3.58MHz subcarrier), while also the being the only PAL country to use MTS stereo?

I expect their recent sets are the same generic mulitstandard sets found in any PAL country with a different tuner. However some of the earlier sets may be unique as there would be no market for them outside of Brazil.

Also, other technologies held on longer in Brazil than anywhere else for whatever reason (The 8 bit Sega Master System console was supported with new games and systems in Brazil long after it was considered dead everywhere else). Could older TV designs have also survived longer?
