The PVR-350, since somewhere in the ivtv 0.3.x-series
driver has not had the MPEG-2 only restriction if you
install the Xdriver.  With that driver installed, you
can use the Xv (Xvideo) extension and get the benefits
of the PVR-350 TV-out for displaying any format.  Of
course, this assumes that you have a CPU capable of
powering this.

I was using this combination prior to getting my HDTV,
which I connect via VGA, so now I'm using my GeForce
5200FX with Bob (software) deinterlacing.
