Just out of interest, my old 4:3 Panasonic TV (now since died) had a
mode where it would squash a picture vertically so that you were still
getting 576 lines in a smaller physical space. If MythTV could output
suitable video for that situation, it could theoretically not need to
deinterlace. (I realise this doesn't apply to all 4:3 users).
