Hi, can anyone confirm what television standard is used in Dominican with the local digital TV - PAL/ SECAM or NTSC. I am coming from Europe and have HD TV sets and was about to buy a HDD & DVD recorder but have just thought that the UK standard may well be completely useless in Dominican.

I also have freeview built into TV's and Laptops are they alse effectively rendered useless in Dominican?

Also with all my electrical equiptment being 240 volt 50 hz - will I be Ok plugging equiptment into the main in Dominican assuming I have surge protectors on valuable PC;s, HiFi and TV's or should I be looking for some current converters as well and if so should I get from Europe/ US or are these sorts of things available in Dominican - and if so wher ewould I best go (with limited Spanish I would like to be as best prepared before seeking advice from an electicial store in Snato Domingo).
