I have a HD tube TV (Sanyo HT32744) which is 1080i native but supports 720p via upconversion. Attached to it I have my Myth computer with a FX5200 outputting to DVI, and then connecting to my TV via a HDMI adapter.
Now, in my area ABC and Fox are 720P. I have a 1280x720 modeline that works perfectly and allows me to watch the recorded shows in full glory. There's no problem there. My problem is with 1080i broadcasts. I can't get a 1920x1080i/1920x540 modeline to work to save my life, as I get a picture with too much flashing and artifacts. So, I've decided while not ideal, in order to get a working picture I'd like to be able to have Myth scale 1080i content to a 1280x720 output. It seems like this should be possible, but I can't get it to work. All it does is output the 1080i signal sans scaling, which chops off a third or so of the image to the right. Is there any way to have Myth scale down 1080i output? Or is this something that is not possible. If it is possible, how do I go about enabling it? Also, I have been having problems triggering the automatic resolution switching for 1080i broadcasts. It doesn't seem to work, as if the file is not being recognized as 1920x1080, which is the size I have set in the config. Viewing the verbose mythfrontend output, I see a few references to 1920x1088 while playing the file. Where are the other 8 pixels coming from, and is this possibly why the resolution switching is failing? If I open the file in mplayer or xine it reports as 1920x1080.
