Comment:

 The solution is to call the broadcaster on the phone and ask them to send
 an non-corrupt video stream. There is no general way for MythTV to detect
 interlacing when the broadcaster says the frame is progressive; we don't
 have a dedicated DSP to play with on a general purpose CPU like you do in
 the fanciest digital TV sets. If you write a fix for this based on partial
 decode and followed by a quick video processing stage, please reopen the
 ticket. Otherwise this is a feature request without a patch.
