Funny that you should ask about analog mode NTSC just a week or two after we've confirmed that QAM works.  (ATSC has always worked, QAM needed a small patch to fix).

The NTSC tuner is already supported, but the cx23885 bridge driver does not yet support analog mode.

I don't know how long that will take, but it shouldn't be too far off.

You don't need any firmware for the hvr1800.
