That is a completly false statement. As shown by Narker.deepplague wrote:pal and ntsc are different types of xbox
To elaborate, they are different types of video encoding.
NTSC has a smaller range of broadcasting pixels, but has a higher FPS rate while PAL has a broader range of active pixels, but has a smaller FPS rate.
However, when you take these two encodings and try to make them data (Binary 0's and 1's) it will not matter what the type of coding is. Due to the fact that they have a common bandwidth that makes data transmission work.
NTSC: 720x480 at 30 FPS = 10,368,000 and
PAL: 720x576 at 25 FPS = 10,368,000
