| The digital tuner standard is different in the US vs rest of world, however, and TVs generally don't come with both - so if you want to get free-to-air TV or cable here, you'll probably need a local TV. However, if you're planning on getting proper cable it won't be an issue, as the cable box will output HDMI, component or S-Video. . | |

Even a UK tuner won't work here in Switzerland. SO if you do import a TV, you would need to use an external box i.e. Cable/satelite/Tuner(a cheap VCR would do)

| As most people end up getting cable, IME, my advice would be to buy a TV in the US - you'll get *much* more for your dollar even if you have to buy a little 110v-220v transformer to go with it. | |

I would NOT advice this. TV's are big, bulky and fragile, and power hungry (so you need more than a small transformer). When it goes wrong you can't easily ship it back to the US.
