signal in India is PAL --u get get you channels in PAL .
First of all, you need a PAL tuner. Stand-alone PAL tuners are available, but the cheapest way of getting one is purchasing a regular PAL VCR since VCRs usually have built-in tuners (and baseband composite video outputs, from which you can get the signal to your tv.)
A tuner will allow you to receive PAL signals from an aerial or cable, but that alone probably isn't enough: your American TV set most likely cannot sync to a 50 Hz signal, much less decode PAL colors. You need another box between the VCR and the tv set: a PAL-to-NTSC standards converter.
See <http://google.com/search?q=ntsc+pal+converter>.
The quality will be watchable, but not as good as a genuine PAL broadcast on a genuine PAL tv set, and not even as good as a genuine NTSC broadcast. You're getting the worst of both worlds, I'm afraid.
