I was using Advanced(HW) as primary and one field as secondary interlacing, and occasionally saw weirdness when watching 1080i. When I noticed it was when someone would blink their eyes, and it looked weird! With TV doing the deinterlacing, I don’t see that.

UPDATE:

After watching and using for a day, I find that the wireless network, doesn’t quite have enough oomph to do 1080i MPG2 and video would occasionally jump. When I investigated, the log shows a lot of waiting 100 -400 ms for data. I went to a wired network interface, and there are no problems. I did have to use the recommended Advanced setting for interlacing, as i saw artifacts due to the tv not deinterlacing.   I wonder if that is due to the mythfrontend connected to the tv with 1080P ?

Anyway with advanced deinterlacing and wired network, all is good.

Regards!
