I haven't changed the deinterlacer from Auto, but I swear this stuff looks better than it did several releases back. I watch a lot SD quality TV/recordings and it looks great to me. I'm pretty picky about that kind of thing too. I'll have to try some 1080i video and see if I can tell anything about that. The HD stuff that gets recorded is 720p so I don't think deinterlacing would be in effect then, right?

There was a tweak to the MMAL Advanced algorithm which cleaned it up quite a lot a little while ago, improving SD deinterlacing a lot. If you overclock a little you can also use MMAL Advanced on 1080i stuff with the latest builds instead of being limited to MMAL Bob.
