There are several things that are different between UK and US television equipment. A UK player normally runs on 240V. Some will also work at 110V but not all. You may need to obtain a 110V to 240V converter.
Next, UK players will not generally play US DVDs because each disc has a region code built in. If the region code of the disc is different to that of the player, the disc will not play. Therefore, only expect a UK player to play UK discs.
The television standards are different in the two countries. Some but not all US televisions will handle UK video signals that use a different frame rate and different color encoding system.
Lastly, UK television has been using widescreen format images for two decades. In the US, standard definition television has remained 4 : 3 viewing ratio with the 16 : 9 format only being introduced with HD. Playing a standard definition widescreeen signal to a US television may result in a distorted image without the means to adjust the aspect ratio.
With these in mind, only consider taking a UK DVD player to the US if you need a means of playing a UK disc collection. If it simply to avoid purchasing another player, the hassle of setting up a UK player in the US far outweighs the cost saving.

240v DVD player purchased in UK now in USA 110v is it poss to get the DVD player altered to change it from 240 to 110 problem is frequency on DVD player is 50hz and think sockets 60hz?
No. Well, not without doing far more work than just going out and buying a North American DVD player. You can get the transformer changed to handle 110V. I did it from 110 to 215V in Australia. It cost me $80 AUD ($55US). Remember that your DVDs from UK aren't Region 1 (N Am.) Unless you can hack your player, you are better off to buy a no region or Region 1 player, which are as cheap as $60US.
