The functionality doesn't currently exist within mythtv to
differentiate between interlaced and progressive modes.

This has been discussed a few times recently. The only guaranteed
solution is to use bobdeint to 'deinterlace' (although all it is
actually doing is presenting the fields sequentially). If bobdeint is
rejected because your refresh rate isn't high enough, then search for
the 'viktor bobdeint' patch either on the mailing list archives or
trac.

I find yadif (2x) to be very good - I've been using to watch sports
for a month or so without issue.
