Since the MythTV FE does not (yet) support VAAPI<br>
VPP MCDI or MADI, that seems to imply that you do<br>
not have a lot of interlaced content (or your TV or<br>
A/V receiver performs the de-interlacing, or that you<br>
are one of the lucky ones that do not observe the artifacts).<br>
As with much else, details matter.<br>

figuring out why. I also attached and set up a USB NIC and a USB to
TOS-link sound “card/dongle”. I have a Mythbackend that records
from Verizon Fios with a Ceton 6 tuner internal card. I do have a AV
system in the frontend mix (Yamaha RX-V473) but doubt it handles any
de-interlacing.</span></div>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">All that being said,
Mythtv on the Meego stick works with some caveats, at least in my
setup. Picture quality is good enough no artifacts to speak of.
However I was getting a stutter/hitch/pause in the picture and sound.
Looking for clues in log files for the stutter/pauses reveled
nothing. I think the stutter/hitch/pause may be caused by thermal
throttling of the CPU, A wild guess. Still need more time testing.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">I think there's
promise in the Intel/Meego stick as a frontend.
