What comments have been made to make you believe that?

Have you read the comments here!!!!!
People have said that there is virtually no difference between NTSC and PAL, THERE IS, so even if there is a difference in the systems (And I DON'T know if there will be) if people can't tell the difference between PAL and NTSC (for the sake of argument we'll call this Stevie Wonder syndrome
) they probably won't tell any difference in the HDTV systems (Even if there is one)

What's happening to those programs to be viewed on your system? Surely they have to be altered in some way. Would that not degrade the picture quality?

I doubt it, as most programmes are stored on digital media, I'm not sure whether the tapes are converted in the US then sent over or changed here, but even fairly low cost VCR's can play NTSC tapes here.
And in professional broadcasting companies, they don't own any equipment that can transpose that badly.
On my frequent visits to the US I can see the colour problems immediately (Just as people from the US notice the 50Hz flicker on PAL), and as our TV's don't have 'Hue' adjustment or the electronic equivalent which is in higher end US TV's, the transmission is if anything, probably better (Better to sort out the source, rather than at the other end, just ask any audio enthusiast.)
