I don't know for definite that I have GL vsync working.  I know I've
got harware acceleration as I can enable opengl menu transitions in
Myth and the I can also do:
glxinfo | grep -i "direct rendering"
direct rendering: Yes

but whether that automatically means the Vsync timing is working, I don't know.

I know I shouldn't have to do deinterlacing, but without it I have
lots of motion combing artifacts.  Why Bob doesn't work with Live Tv
is a bit of a mystery at the moment as it apears to work fine with
stuff I've recorded.  My radeon driver is version module version 4.0.3
or so it says in the logs.

The quest for perfect Tv out continues...
