There has been a problem for some time with hardware deinterlacing on
Raspberry Pi. The problem arose starting with firmware version #897,
released July 8 2016. There is now a fix in MythTV.
MythTV versions prior to v0.28.1-34 will deinterlace correctly with
firmware versions up to #896. MythTV versions v0.28.1-34 on will
deinterlace correctly with firmware versions #897 and higher.
You can check your firmware version with uname -a
You can upgrade your Raspberry Pi jessie firmware to the latest stable
version using "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt dist-upgrade". Currently
this will install version #998.
I have updated the package download of MythTV-light so that the new
version will be downloaded.
If you have previously changed your deinterlace setting to get around
the deinterlace problem you can change it back to "Advanced(HW)" for the
best results after installing the latest versions of MythTV and firmware.
