I looks like there are no technical problems with the 0.4.0 version. Or
better, these are the only drivers i've used so far.
The problems I have is that the quality of the picture is noticable
worse than the broadcast quality. Without deinterlacing, there is quite
a lag in fast moving objects or a talk host who moves his head while he
talks, my girlfriend calls it 'octopus images' when arms and or legs are
involved. With interlacing the lag is less noticable, but the image does
shock now and then (like sometimes 1 or 2 frames are cut out).
I've got the idea it's problem with 25Hz pal and fglrx wich sets the
video-card to 60Hz, but i'm not sure. I'm not able to use the bob
deinterlace filter either, that looks like 1 frame is stuck and mixed
with the video.
I've got no idea if it helps to capture the pal stream with 30fps
framerate (to match the 60Hz output). But well.... let's try that ;-)
