What build of the FE are you running?  I'd love to get 1080i running 
well on my 1.86 CD machine.  The settings switching when I go back 
and forth between SD and HD is getting tiresome.

My impression is that my machine is just a little bit too slow.  The 
video plays, but there's a lot of stuttering and frame dropping.
