[mythtv-users] Just let my TV de-interlace

[OCG Technical Support]

Just to close the door on an alternative...ATI is even worse!

So far I've been happy with NVidia, but I too can't get rid of the
tearing...

A mythtv wiki article talks about XV and disabling sync to vblank...but it
didn't make a difference for me.

I couldn't solve my tearing problem either until I went with mythbuntu
fresh install.  I have sync to vblank in myth settings, sync to vblit
in nvidia-settings, and use xvmc and xv-blit for my playback(it
doesn't work for me to use opengl video).  Now I have pulled the edid
out of my TV and found my 1080i modeline, but that didn't really work
so I went back to 1080p at 59.94 as opposed to 1080p at 60.  Either way, I
used to have tearing when I used Fedora 7 and SUSE 10.1, but haven't
had too may problems since I switched to mythbuntu, don't really know
why, maybe I'm just starting to get the hang of this linux thing.
