The next release will have NTSC. 
The original firmware switched the video output microcode to NTSC with the
VidMode call but did not set some other registers to NTSC mode.
I changed the firmware to do this.

I have NTSC playback from file working now. I still have to test this
with DVB. Does anybody know if there is an NTSC DVB channel somewhere
on Astra or Hotbird where I can test this?
