That means you have a Mark I version and the RF chip issue is quite a common issue. However B&O make a repair kit part number 3455103 for about £50 which includes the following items:- This will make your Mark I phone into a Mark II phone EXCEPT that it will NOT have an Earset socket but WILL still work on your Mark I chargers.

The reason is because the NTSC colour sub-carrier is 4.43 MHz instead of 3.58 MHz. You are right that more up to date TV's will handle this, so you will need a converter. You need something like the converter HERE
