Interesting...

I looked at the nvidia driver; I was running an ancient 9755 version.  I 
upgraded to 169; the screen would go black on any attempt at playback or 
livetv.

So I changed to the 100 version; this seems to have fixed both the 
jerkiness and the interlacing....

I still get the error messages but visually it's all fixed.

Fingers crossed....
