The driver from nVidia themselves. From what I have read, only it
properly "supports" interlace handling on a TV-Out display. But I
don't keep up on the opensource "nv" driver.

No. I compare it to live TV :)
After a few days of watching shows this way, I'm still happy, although
I'm not sure I'm watching 60 fields per second or not. I'm usually
quite sensitive to the difference, so I'm confused as to why I can't
tell one way or the other. I will play around some more to see if I
can convince myself all is well.

It didn't work for me, and I don't mind the freevo menus in 800x600.
There are no display issues there. I try to keep things as normal as
possible.

I haven't yet tried to resize the display with the nvidia overscan
settings or via the Modleine.
