I'd say that unless an NTSC run has been produced without announcement,
then no you don't have an NTSC copy. Chris Winter could confirm/deny any
the existence of NTSC versions at this stage. Chris?

I'd say what is more likely to be the case is that your DVD player is
capable of converting PAL to NTSC which your TV is displaying. Or your
DVD player can't convert but the TV can accept a PAL signal and display
it.

My TV/DVD player system can handle NTSC discs - and it's not some high
end system. If my system can handle NTSC it's not that unlikely that
yours can handle PAL.

Don't question it - just enjoy it ;-)

Cheers,
