But my TV does not have a "SCART" connector on it.  I don't think I have
ever seen a TV with a SCART connector.  All I have is the North American
standard connector for cable/antenna, composite, s-video and component.

I do agree with your concept though of treating a TV like a fixed
frequency monitor.

On the issue of hardware encoding and whether it preserves the
interlacing, I do believe the PVR-250 I have in my machine does indeed
preserve the interlacing in the MPEG2 stream it creates.

I do transcode to MPEG4 with Myth though.  Anyone know if that still
preserves the interlaced fields?
