[mythtv-users] mythtv+pvr250+pcHDTV and it WORKS

[John Roberts]

All,

Well - it's been a LOOOONG road - but it all works (Aside from the few things like Myth doesn't pre-set the channel correctly with the pcHDTV).

BUT - I have one question for you HDTV people out there:

When I watch ABC (which is 720p) it's fantastic - nothing but a fantastic ATSC signal.

BUT - when I watch CBS and NBC I can see (what I think is) an interlace effect.  In other words I can see the scan lines when objects are moving.

So - since CBS and NBC are 1080i - I'm thinking it much be the difference between the two ATSC formats.

How can I correct this?  I'm using an nVidia 5500 with XvMC enabled feeding my Samsung DLP (Progressive display) at 720p (1280x720p - which is the native mode/size for the TV).

Any thoughts on how I can clean up my 1080i viewing?

Thanks everyone for the help in the past - I've been reading every day for 7 months and I have the system all done! (except for the 1080i issue).

If anyone is wondering - here is my setup:

- P4 HT 2.6G (Never would have worked if it wasn't for MPEG hardware on the 5500)
- nVidia 5500
- Myth 0.15.1
- Latest Chris Kennedy IVTV patches for 0.10
- 2.6.7 Kernel
- Gentoo platform
- PVR-250
- pcHDTV
- Samsung 50inch DLP (Progressive Scan) driven by DVI @ 1280x720p

-John
