Okay, thanks.

What happens when BOB is used with 480p for 480i material?  Is each
field scaled from 240 to 480, and then "bobbed" out to the TV?  I
assumed that any scaling would happen after the video was
deinterlaced.

My current TV automatically switches into a "vertical squeeze" mode
when it receives anything higher than 480p.  This means I would end up
with black bars on all four sides, if I watched 480i material at 540p.
 I am hoping to finally buy a true widescreen TV in august.
