Thanks, Mark. That did the trick.

Hmm... this is part of what was so puzzling: since this is a recent 
version of the Nvidia driver, there aren't any modelines specified in my 
xorg.conf file.  Just a
  "Modes        "1920x1080_60"
instead.  So I gather there must be some handshaking and communication 
going on between the nvidia driver, xorg, and mythtv that generated the 
1080i mode information.

Anyways, thanks for your quick response:  it now stays at 1080p. Now I 
just need to dig back through all the other info for the optimization 
tips  :-) . (I see Xorg cpu usage periodically cycling between <1% to 
 >84% playing a pvr-150 mpg recording...)
