(If "Broadcast" needs to be explained as meaning "antenna", it makes
me wonder why the choice isn't just named "Antenna".)

(Does it ask this question if you've told it to use PAL? If it only
appears in NTSC areas, does the issue of whether you're in one need
to be mentioned?)

Slightly better with a comma there. Oh, and I've accidentally

There seems to be some debate about whether it's "2:3 pull-down",
"2-3 pulldown", or even "3:2 pull down". If I can trust Wikipedia:
* "2:3 pulldown" detection for optimal quality viewing of film content
from NTSC sources.
