In a word: no.
There are too many things that could've create anamoly on-screen, disregard the Region Code gaffe about DVDs I am talking about TV; tuner for one, is it tuned to go to British channels? This is probably OK since I have a Taiwanese tuner working wonderfully in Canada.
But next part is not OK, European TV signals use PAL but Taiwan/Japan/US/Canada use NTSC, even if you can hook them all up there would be picture anamoly as PAL signal going into a NTSC box the phase is all wrong. I am not aware of any PAL-NTSC phase shifter adapters.

There are few things more frustrating than trying to get US electronic equipment to work in the UK. Save yourself the hassle - buy what works locally and sell the thing that doesn't on eBay to someone going to the US.
