Been trying the TV-out for a few days now on a Pundit-R with a 2,4
Celeron. The image looks nice and using bob or kernel deinterlacing it
is hard for mee to tell the difference with the PVR350 tvout.

Too bad the overscan settings for the fglrx driver don't seem to do
anything.

Another strange thing is the CPU usage. Watching live tv with a PVR250 I
see this in top :

The values for X seem extremely high for accelerated video and I get an
occasional skip. Anyone can confirm these values or do I have to start
diggig in my setup files? I'm using 2.6.8.1 kernel btw.
