You don't *always* need to deinterlace an interlaced signal when
watching on an interlaced device (i.e. a TV), but sometimes due to the
way the TV Out chip on the video card works it will give a better
picture with less motion artefacts. When watching on a progressive
display - a computer monitor for example, using a good quality
deinterlacer will improve the picture a lot.
