The video source could be from a wide variety of formats.  The user has no
control over that.  Might be interlaced, might be progressive.  Might be top
field first or bottom field first.  Might involve pullup/pulldown.  Might be
grossly wrong and need correction.  (yes really, even from sources that should
know better)

To capture over the air digital tv broadcasts in the US you need an ATSC 
demodulator.
The latest ones are 5th generation and leave room for improvement.
