You don't want to do that.  It'll make inverse 3:2 pulldown impossible, so
anything you archive won't be in as good a format as it could be.

I tried out one of the Plextor USB tuner boxes a while back and took it back to
the store a few days later because it insisted on deinterlacing everything
before encoding.

I have a 30" LCD connected to my Mythbox.  Kernel deinterlace works well and is
recommended.
