Almost certainly not worth your trying it then. It's only a win if
the TV can do a better job of deinterlacing than your options under
MythTV, and sounds like not, in your case. Possibly, it's not useful
to anyone with VDPAU as an option, but there was someone who reported
their Sony Bravia as doing a slightly better job than VDPAU (although
they may not have had access to all the VDPAU deinterlacers at the time.
