Hi folks,
I am moving from the U.S. to Portugal soon, and am debating taking my HDTV with me.
I'm one of those cable cutters. I don't have cable or use an antenna on the unit here in the U.S.-- I have a computer plugged into it via HDMI and just stream stuff online (iTunes, Netflix, etc), so I am okay with not being able to access broadcast or cable signals in Europe.
I'm slightly confused about is the 50hz part, however. The back of the unit says: "AC 120-240 50/60HZ", so I presume I can power the television without problems there. But I also see the term "50hz" used when referring to the video signal. I think this is talking about the refresh rate of the video signal, but was not sure if it was related to the power signal.
Is my assumption correct in that the television can be plugged in without problems (assuming an adaptor on the plug), but is unable to accept European broadcast or cable signals?
Thanks!
