When I try to set PAL using your suggested syntax (above) I get

leon@shpritsz:~$ xrandr --output S-video --set TV_FORMAT PAL
X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  157 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  11 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  19
  Current serial number in output stream:  19

xrandr --verbose gives
