I think that's as I would expect. I don't have an HD TV or any HD
sources to test with, but I believe Tom has his system set up to
use several display modes, matching them to the source. So you'd
need to make it use the 1080i mode only for 1080i content, and
you'd need a 576i mode more 576i content. That's assuming you
can send 576i via the input of the TV that you've chosen to use.
My guess would be that HDMI and DVI inputs can accept 576i, but
I've never tried it.

Cheers,
