There's a timing difference between even frames and odd fields in the syncs generated at the field end. Non-interlaced video essentially sends only even fields. That said, I'm not sure if non-interlaced video was ever an official part of the PAL spec, so perhaps this TV is justified in its

on the TV's I'd tried it on. Other routines in the issue did MODE 3 interlacing - flicking between MODE3 screens saying it would give a screen resolution of 512x384, but it's not as the SAM only outputs non-interlaced video so again, it just appears as a bit of a flickery mess! Ah right
