Yes, given an h264 recording that isn't interlaced this works really 
well on the Firestick 4k. Unfortunately I don't know whether a DVB-T2 HD 
recording is going to remain deinterlaced until I've played it though...

It has also quit after playing for 20 minutes.  I remember it doing that 
when I first had it, and I fixed it then from here:
