Regio issues? What are they????

Just kidding :-) Most players sold in Europe (especially the ones "Made in
PRC"), are region-free.

But you would not need to bring your NTSC-one.

No, quality is certainly less over broadband. But, so many stations from
all around the globe :-). For data and VoIP, don't get tempted to get
