The reason your setup worked fine with patch2 is that a bug existed in
the patch which prevented a 2x deinterlacer from running. In patch4 it
was corrected to allow the 2x deinterlacing (although it still needs
to fixed in one other place). I've confirmed in your logs that with
patch2 you are using Temporal 1x and with patch4 you are using
Temporal 2x. Your problem is with using Temporal 2x. I would assume
the ION has the power to handle Temporal 2X on MPEG 1080i so I'll take
your sample and try and reproduce.

Regards.
