Absolutely - I was just trying to add some balance to the somewhat sweeping
statement that major brand multi-region players are unavailable in the
US....

I wish I know more about the technical side of things - it's certainly true
that most US TVs aren't dual standard, but I wonder if this also applies
with HDTV, which is a different standard again?
