No, they are different things.
NTSC is the color encoding process used in North America for standard definition video signals. In Europe, a similar encoding system called PAL is used for standard definition video.
HD video is never encoded into a single signal and therefore neither NTSC nor PAL play any part in the transmission of any HD signal.

How can you watch DSTV on your NTSC HD television - do you need a pal to ntsc converter?
NTSC and PAL are two types of color encoding. NTSC is used in North America while PAL is used in Europe. Most other countries around the world use one or other. HD signals do not use PAL or NTSC color encoding and most televisions are capable of displaying HD content whether source in the US or Europe. However, many disc players and games consoles use region coding to prevent a disc bought in one region (USA for example) being played in another (UK for example). This is normally a function of the disc player or games console rather than the televsion.

Broadcast TV will be changed to all digital in 2009 so TVs won't work without an adapter. HD and big screens seem to make little sense without cable or satellite. I suggest getting a used TV for now from Freecycle.org. People are just throwing out TVs to switch to HD's. Search " NTSC 2009 TV FCC "

What is NTSC?
NTSC stands for National Television Systems Committee. It's the set of standards used for TV and video in the U.S. since 1953. These are mandated standards for televisions sold in the U.S and some other countrys like Japan. They include an aspect ratio of 4:3, 525 horizontal interlaced scan lines, and 29.97 fps (frames per second). Since NTSC allows the control of the HUE (tint) of the color unlike PAL that does not, many TV engineers used to say that NTSC stood for "Never Twice Same Color"
