There is no fix for the mpeg2 pixellation issue, that seems to be on all
Nvidia devices including shield. I am running version 418.43 and the
problem exists there as well.
You can get newer driver versions using the ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
v 396 and above will support NVDEC in Mythtv (master branch)
v 415 and above will support h265 playback using vdpau or nvdec (master
branch)
