I am having a similar issue though I have not tried changing to NTSC format.

 

I have the following information

Note: DVB is working fine, can select dvb channels all OK.

 

 

But, If I try to select channel 999 (which I added with the composite source
in myth backend setup)

I get the following error in the backend

The frontend just seems to hang. Sometimes it restarts automatically after
registering a crash other times. I have to kill the process.

 

Is there anything else I can check.

 

Thanks for any help, you can give.
