It works well for me. Best quality I get in terms of sharpness
and fluidity of motions for UK PAL content into a SD CRT TV, is
with no scaling, no deinterlacing, and no TVDeflicker. Using
component out from an EPIA board, it's quite difficult to
distinguish between MythTV and my old Thomson DVR.  Sometimes
the interlaced fields get reversed, which looks terrible, but
pausing a few times always cures that.
