It's a reasonable assumption, but my experience is that it doesn't
work well. I suggest trying both ways - turn de-interlacing on and
compare the quality of the picture with it off. Also try the
various different de-interlacing techniques.

Good test material would be sports shows, and news shows with
the ticker tape at the bottom.
