Taking television to jamaica

[mick]

if you brought one from the US it probably didn't work because the US standard is NTSC and most of the world (except Japan due to our occupation after WWII) uses PAL and I imagine since Jamaica was British it also uses the PAL format

Really
I thought jamaica is NTSC ?

I was just speculating but now have googled and JA is NTSC so that TV likely did break in transit
