Are you saying that the tv-out on the pundit doesn't support interlacing?? Can someone else comment on this?

According to this thread on the MythTV list, the hardware actually converts the interlaced input to progressive, which is why you have no choice but to de-interlace it in software:

I am interested in this because I am supporting a Freevo installation on someone's pundit box as well and he has been seing some interlacing artifacts that I have been blaming on us using older ivtv drivers for recording.

BTW, Niklas, how is the overscan for you? Is your tv-out overscanned at all,

I cannot get my TV-out to be overscanned; I don't know if the SiS chip supports it. The best I can do is set the stretch/position parameters so that I get a very thin black area to the left and right of the computer image.


I've always thought it very weird that anyone designing a TV encoder chip (SiS, Zoran, Philips etc) even thinks that leaving out overscan is an option, it's like they don't expect us to watch any TV-in on out TV-out ports... =)

Hint to freevo developers: software overscan - like TVTime does it - would be a great option!

and are you using the framebuffer (sisfb) or the X server?


I'm using X, mainly because I haven't set up a dedicated freevo box yet (still waiting for my broadband connection, and playing with distros and package management is a b**ch without it :) ). So I run Xine, TVTime and MPlayer manually.
