I am thinking of buying Pimp my Ride Season 2 but can only find it as a Region 2,4 and it is in AUS. I have a Cyberhome CH-300 that is region free and says it does NTSC/PAL.

Will it look normal on my TV? I don't see this DVD coming to US. I was unable to find any information if it will ever be realeas to US market which is dumb because it is a US TV show. No idea why MTV is not releasing it.in US.

If your DVD player can indeed convert PAL signals to NTSC signals, you do not also need a PAL televsion to view it.

I've owned three All-Region players over the years that properly convert PAL signals to NTSC. The PAL signal is converted within the DVD player and then output as an NTSC signal. Your TV then receives the signals from the player as NTSC. Quite simple.

It's ok Jon, it is the Xzibit US series Randall is considering, as we have been discussing it.
The UK one is crap - IMO

I also have a CH-300 and it does indeed convert PAL DVDs to NTSC output for display on NTSC televison sets.

As I understand it that was exactly what Randall was asking. I must ask though I have an Apex player that is PAL and also region free. The PAL discs play just fine on a Sony and a Toshiba television that I have but will not play on an RCA television. Any ideas. NTSC discs in the APEX player work fine on the RCA television.

I too have an Apex player that works just fine on all my TVs - but I don't have an RCA one.  I seem to remember that the Apex ( or at least mine, which is probably an older one )  had a few peculiarities about which output would be active.  Are you using the exact same output on the Apex to all your TVs - or are some S-Video and some Component for example?  I think you have to select the output on the menu of the Apex else it stays dead under some configurations.

All of my TV's  I only use Component Video. I might try switching to S-Video and back again on the menu and see if that helps.

Thanks,

Careful, there is a UK Pimp My Ride. Never watched it myself, but the host is called "Westwood". He did a special episode for Comic Relief. I found a link here, but nothing on IMDb.

It is the US version Pimp my ride season 2 just was never release in US. Now we are on Season 6 I wish MTV would release all 6 season on DVD.

It definetly is the US season 2, I should know, I did the work on it! UPC/EAN 9324915065789. Can't help you with your problem though, we here in Aus. have to convert NTSC to PAL. Since most players here have to be Region Free (as long as you ask for the directions to turn it into one), it's more a matter of having an PAL/NTSC compatible television.

Oh, by the way, it's actually season 2 & 3 lumped together and called Season 2. That's why you'll find that I numbered the discs the way they are displayed on the disc: Disc 1: Episode 1 - 8; Disc 2: Episode 1 - 8. Disc 1 is season 2, Disc 2 is season 3. Go Figure.

As I said in my above post:

So, it's worth buying because you're getting two seasons instead of one!
