No chance AT ALL!!
UK uses PAL Tv system,240 volts @50HZ
Canada uses NTSC TV systen 120 volts @60hz
You could correct the voltage with an adaptor but not the fequency, or signal type.

No it would not work, as the voltage is completely different in the UK and also the radio/television signals are totally different. You would need a transformer to beable to plug your TV into an outlet. Better to leave your Tv in Canada and buy one when you get there.

maximum up-to-date Tvs are Multi generic (via fact that previous due ninety's) The Canadians use NTSC (like the US) uk makes use of buddy. as long as your television is NTSC properly suited - specifically circumstances immediately detected specifically circumstances from the menu pages - then no subject. As for Voltage back modern TVs (and residential equipment) motor vehicle experience the incoming skill - verify the place the twine enters or your instruction manual for info.

Canada uses NTSC and the UK uses PAL... they are not compatible. So, unless you get a PAL to NTSC converter, your TV won't work in any part of Europe. Trust me, you might as well avoid the headaches and buy a European television.

The TV as it is, is fine, it can be tuned to receive UK television no problem, The voltage can be dealt with with a transformer, to lower the voltage, and you will get a good picture.
