It enables you to watch analogue transmissions using the SECAM standard on a PAL TV and possibly vice versa, only really useful if you are watching the French analogue channels on 5 West.

PS. He won't get much for it, as he's spelling it seacam and nobody will find it and also, many European manufactured TV sets handle all standards anyway. :)

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

My TV which is a good 10+ years old can handle SECAM transmissions (maybe even NTSC) as it can easily view the Analogue transmissions off 5w... :)

So unless you have a really old TV, then there really isn't much use for one of those Transcoders these days... :D
