Never had any problems with 720p playback with VDPAU.
Using 1x hardware deinterlace setting but upscaling to 1080i60 to screen so 
pointless ??
Worked okay from the first offering (3 months ago).
Almost perfect video on all channel recordings but not live. (nvidia-180.60 
& mythtv fixes repos)
TV1 video playback is very very good.
Better than any LCD display except for the latest  maybe..

Last night recorded TV 1, 2 & 3 from 9 to 9:30.
15 seconds later could watch any of the 3 recordings no problem except audio 
is junked.

LiveTV does not work (for me) since the nvidia 185.xx versions of JYA repos.
Audio is broken except for AC3 (s/pdif output) and that is not perfect.
Previous 180.44 build from JYA was very good.

The audio playback was perfect couple months ago.
Could be ubuntu updates that broke this operation, it broke the LCDProc 
again.

Three steps forward, two & half steps back...
