SCART is super for things like computers and game
consoles, since it
allows RGB
input, something that apparently almost no US TVs do.
And it has IN and OUT for most signals, so you can do loopback and
daisy-chaining.

Use a step-up transformer (110 to 220-240V), frequency probably though I'm no BBC expert.
As Tony has pointed out, it's very easy to convert -- all the Astec and BSR
SMPSUs that were used have a link you can make for 110V operation.
