Hi,

I receive DVB-T in the UK and I'd like to improve the image quality.
I think it is a deinterlacing issue.

I'm currently using in mplayer

vf=pp=lb

And it improves the situation for the fine details.
But I still get some effects, on macro blocks.
There are like horizontal bands (maybe 0.5 cm thick on my 16 inches  
screen) and if one looks closely

enough, it is possible to see the separation between those bands.


I see similar things (on dvb-t) on eg five life and five us,  
especially movies on five us. I assume that the transmission might be  
in 540 horisontal pixels.


Which channels do you see this on?

Is there a way to get rid of it?
If I watch my TV I can't find those lines.

It's like the TV is able to smooth edges, maybe with some averaging.
It happens with all applications (kaffeine, mplayer, xine) and it looks to be 
worse on BBC that 
Channel4 (& friends).

That sounds like quantisation artifacts rather than interlacing.  Some
channels in particular are using rather low bitrates so this should
come as no surprise.
