Erebus the Aftermth

Two nights ago, I was watching my copy of Erebus while transcribing it from VHS tape to DVD. The quality of reproduction is excellent and the programme is compelling.
As I understand it, all DVDs are actually PAL standard but those for USA (Region 1) transcribe to NTSC. Since I recorded my own version, (not Region specific) PAL/NTSC should not be a problem. (It has not been for other DVDs I have sent to friends in the States.)
I would be pleased to send you a copy if I knew how to contact you.
In a secondhand bookshop in UK I found a copy of The Erebus Papers, dealing with the evidence et al associated with the enquiry. It is still packed away and I can give you no other details at the moment, but it might be worth searching ABEbooks for a copy.
In your quest for a TV, you will find in the States that you can buy multi-standard TVs which happily show you PAL. Even in France, a SECAM tv will often be PAL compatible.
In answer to another post, the Erebus programme was shown in UK just once on two subsequent afternoons. Hence my copy!
