Thanks. To summarize our NTSC/PAL discussion: There is little qualitative difference between the NTSC and PAL color transmission systems; the perceived differences are simply related to implementation rather than to system capabilities. I.E; If, in the U.S., the power line frequency was 50Hz rather than 60 Hz, the channel bandwidth was 8 MHz rather than 6 MHz and the TV set manufacturers actually passed all color information contained in the NTSC transmission, there would be very little difference between the image quality of the two systems. Conversely, if England began broadcasting NTSC tomorrow, assuming TV set design was correct, there would again very little difference in displayed image - assuming post 1970 receiver design is used. Question, how long has it been since you NTSC users adjusted a hue control (which is now buried in a menu)?

The time when the ideas concerning quadrature modulation phase angles were being thought out came a while after the work by Hazeltine that made color television compatible with exsisting monochrome receivers.
