You could also make panel {extension, applet} work that embeds the part, it 
would be a cool feature to have TV running in kicker ;-)

You won't find this anywhere in the program. The v4l2 plugin rewads the 
supported norms from the TV card driver, so if they don't appear, your TV 
card does not support it. PAL-M seems to be some strange format, 60Hz with 
NTSC line count... (see 
http://v4l2spec.bytesex.org/spec-single/v4l2.html#VIDIOC-ENUMSTD). Be sure to 
have a v4l2 plugin driven device selected in the "Devices" menu. The v4l1 
plugin only provides these norms if it detects a bttv device at runtime.
