When hardware decoding is added, there's a good chance it will work
for progressive content.  I believe the current FireTV (not stick)
supports hardware deinterlacing so it will proably work for interlaced
content too.  The older FireTVs and sticks, including the current one,
could be out of luck or have to accept inferior deinterlacing.
