PAL and NTSC are color encoding formats. NTSC is the format used in North America and PAL is used in Europe. Most other countries use one or the other. NTSC is normally used at a frame rate of 29.97Hz with 480 lines used for the image while PAL is normally 25Hz and uses 576 lines. The frame rate and line count are actually independent of the color encoding format used so there are instances where US frame rates and line counts can be used with PAL color encoding and vice versa.
PAL and NTSC are similar formats but not interchangeable. Many modern televisions will now handle PAL and NTSC but that is not always the case.

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.
