Yeah, I'm having similar issues with the HD playback. I finally got my 
HDHR at least playing live TV last night and I noticed it was choppy, 
presumably on the 1080i channels, because some were okay. I'm nearly 
certain I've seen posts say that AR1600 can easily play even 1080p 
content, that's why I got it instead of building a box based on a Zotac 
330 dual core board. Getting it there has been a bit vague and varied 
based on some postings that I've found.

Here's something I found in a newegg comment for the AR1600 of all 
places. Haven't tried it yet. Search the comments for mythTV here

1) You have to get a version of Myth (0.21 with fixes or the new 0.22) 
with the VDPAU driver built in (PackMan repo if you use OpenSUSE 11.2)

2) Buried in one of the sub-screens of TV playback settings, where you 
create the vdpau playback profile, is the deinterlacer setting. You must 
set this to Bob(2x,hw).


I assume mythbuntu 9.10 satisfies #1, I'll have to look for #2, if you 
beat me to it let me know how it goes. What's your source for HD content?
