[mythtv-users] MythTV in native 1080i mode? (maybe with a 7050PV)

[Florin Andrei]

I have a 1080p plasma TV that will accept 1080p on the HDMI inputs, but 
only 1080i on the component input. If I connect a MythTV box to the 
component input, the MythTV _must_ be configured in 1080i mode.

Is it even possible for MythTV to run on a system with the graphics card 
configured in the 1080i mode? I never used a computer with the graphics 
card configured in an interlaced mode, so I have no idea how that would 
work.

Assuming I will use a motherboard with an embedded GeForce 7050PV chip, 
will that chip accept the 1080i mode? If not, do you know another 
GeForce chip that will work in that mode?

I am planning to use a DVI-to-component adapter between the computer and 
the TV.

The system will play mostly cable, satellite and OTA content, which is 
1080i, 720p and 480i. My only source of 1080p content at this moment are 
Blu-Ray disks, which are already handled by a PS3 - so the MythTV box 
will never have to play 1080p for the foreseeable future.
