Please don't tell me that PAL is likely to be replaced by NTSC.:-)

Remember 'Never Twice (the) Same Color'?

When PAL  colour  (sic - I'm not quoting this time!) broadcasting was 
being trialled in Britain in my youth, the difference in quality then 
between the colour rendition on broadcast TV here (Britain) and in the 
US was very noticeable.  Do you consider that NTSC broadcast quality 
has improved since then? (Haven't been in the 'States for years).
