I'm buying a laptop with a built in TV tuner. I'll be leaving in a few weeks to go to a country that broadcasts television with PAL rather than NTSC. Do TV tuners care what the signal is? In other words, can I use this TV tuner anywhere in the world?

I do not know about all tuners, but the Hauppauge tuners give you the option to use either PAL or NTSC with you configure the channels.

The laptop I'm getting is an HP that comes pre-installed with the TV tuner and from what I can find, is an HP model tuner.
