I have some of this going on and have developed a little bit of knowledge about it, though not expertise. Your son's tv is likely a PAL standard tv, though it could be a dual standard tv, i.e. NTSC and PAL. Those are available here, too, but you have to hunt for them.
You can also purchase converters, too. How well they work with cable or the like, I have no idea. I have a relatively inexpensive Philips DVD player that plays PAL and NTSC out to our NTSC tv. Marantz DVD players until this year had the ability to play into a PAL or NTSC tv, so if he goes that route, he might be able to find a one year old Marantz that will convert for him.
Good luck.
