I'll give xine a try, but I'd still like to get playback working with MythTV (not MythVideo).<br>
<br>
I'm fairly certain the problem isn't with my display. (480i content
works fine, FWIW). I'm using the VGA out to my computer monitor,
running at a resolution of 1600x1200. <br>
<br>
I'll give xine a try, but I believe the problem is with the nVidia driver. <br>

<br>you describe sounds like a progressive display trying to deal with<br>the interlace and doing a poor job of it. Which output of your nVidia<br>card are you using (VGA or SVIDEO/Composite)? Does it look OK with 720p?<br>
<br>I know pcHDTV suggests using xine for playback, and I notice that's<br>not one that you mentioned.<br><br>I've had good luck with 720p HD video but around here we have only<br>one digital OA channel and they don't transmit 1080i very often.
