I asked a while back, and it appeared difficult at driver level. So, I 
use a local script file to force PAL-I. For tvtime its as follows:

#!/bin/sh
tvtime &
sleep 1
v4lctl setnorm PAL-I
tvtime-command CHANNEL_DOWN CHANNEL_UP


For mplayer/mencoder you can tell it to use PAL-I as follows (example):

mplayer tv:// -tv input=0:driver=v4l2:normid=4........

'man mplayer' has the gruesome details.

Once coded you can just forget about it - works for me :-).
Hope this helps.

Ian
