Especially if you're talking tiny portables (which is probably what people in the DPRK buy, so they can hide them easily).

It's NTSC in SKorea, and PAL in NKorea. You'll need a very expensive multi-system TV set which would not be tolerated by the NKorean authorities. Alternatively, S.Koreans must start broadcasting some of their programs in PAL (which has never happened before), specifically targeting the N.Korean audience. It would be helpful to hear a technical expert's opinion. LP How do N.Koreans manage to receive video signals from S.Korea if the TV systems in their respective countries are different?
