That's only presuming the TV's built-in scaler (and video 
processor/processing chain) is a) capable (without glitches and 
occasional frame drops--which most "bleeding edge" TVs tend to exhibit 
until processing the new, bigger, better video content is so simple that 
TV manufacturers can buy dirt-cheap processors that can keep up) and b) 
better than what MythTV can do.

Now, I'll give you that the approach would be adequate if the TV's video 
processing is adequate, but it's only better if the TV (and, would that 
mean every TV used by every MythTV user?) is better.
