There are many NTSC to PAL converters out there. J&R sells a few I know.
They can also be had for fairly cheap ($40 and up).

Other formats or conversion directions are a different story. PAL to NTSC
is also fairly easy to find, but prices tend to start closer to $200. And
anything dealing with SECAM is going to be more costly, and more
difficult to locate (usually at that point, you end up getting a
universal converter, and spend $500 or more).


A slightly bigger problem might be getting one that works with a VHF
signal... most of the ones I have seen expect it to be line composite.
