Yes, there is something you can't find.
If you watch interlaced shows, you will get the best quality by keeping
the video interlaced up to the TV. By deinterlacing, you loose vertical
resolution and you reduce the smoothness of the animation (you have 25fps
instead of 50fps in PAL, 30fps/60fps in NTSC).
Doesn't this depend on your display device? Or are all the
deinterlacers poor in Myth?
The whole premise of progressive-scan DVD players assumes that the
deinterlacing can be done better than most display devices can.
How is that different for MythTV?
The advantage of progressive scan is for progressive shows only (ie movies).
For interlaced shows, the best is to never deinterlace the picture and
to display it on a true interlaced display (ie a standard tv). By
deinterlacing, you always loose vertical resolution and fps (except some
deinterlacers, which keeps the fps but affect more the vertical resolution)
