I know this is old, but also don't forget that there are converters for PAL/NTSC. As for the power, I can't think of a converter that will pull MORE voltage...I don't even think that's possible, but I don't know that much about electronics to be sure. Just realize all hope isn't lost if something doesn't immediately work. You probably already know this though XD
There are two things you need to know regarding your TV.
Power requirements and broadcasting standards.
1:POWER
Look on the back of the TV and find the sticker or label that mentions the INPUT VOLTAGE.
If it reads 220-240V 50Hz then it will not work in the USA.
If it reads 110-240V 50-60Hz then it MAY work in the USA. At least you know it will work if you change the plug on the mains cable.
2: BROADCASTING
In the UK, broadcasts use the PAL system to display images on the screen. In the USA, broadcasts use the NTSC system to display images on the screen.
You need to check the manual that came with your TV to see if it is capable of receiving an NTSC signal. This signal is used in everything in the USA from PVRs, to DVD/HDD recorders, satellite systems, public access and cable systems.
If your TV meets the power and broadcast requirements then it should work.
