English NTSC TV's.

Well Brazil had a PAL 525/60 system, so maybe Canada should have had a SECAM 525/60 system to keep things equal, but common sense prevailed & they chose NTSC. England tried experiments with NTSC, SECAM & PAL on both 405/50 & 625/50 in the 1950's/60's. A few experts wanted wanted to go for NTSC, but eventually they went for PAL, we could have been the only NTSC 625/50 country in the world, wonder how that would have panned out?

PAL-M was chosen to allow in part for Brazil to develop it's own domestic industrial base.
