TvH and deinterlaced output picture quality for the majority or AMLogic devices has never been that good since Android Kodi started using Mediacodec only hardware decoding.
There are bugs in the underlying Android EXOplayer too with AMLogic hardware, so interlaced content watched using Android TV Live Channels is no good either.
Deinterlaced picture outputs are half motion, which is not good at all for sports containing lots of movement. And SD mpeg2 content appears blocky. The deinterlaced picture is also dull vs what it should be.
These are known problems, that have not been fixed in years. They look very low priority for bug fixing.
The exact same Chipset in other devices , using AMLcodec hardware decoding with Linux Kodi (LibreELEC/ CoreELEC) produces great full motion deinterlacing, with the best picture output quality now being the produced by the AMLogic S922X.
