[mythtvnz] 50Hz vs 60Hz refresh rate

[Alick Wilson]

For reference, my MagicTV DVR manual says:

  Video Output Format 50/60Hz As New Zealand DTT programmes will normally be
broadcast  in 50Hz, selection of a 50Hz format from the list below is
recommended. However, some TVs (perhaps from Japan or America where
broadcasts  are in 60Hz) may not happily accept a 50Hz signal.  In this case
choose from the list of 60Hz formats provided.'

  1080i (50Hz) The default setting - accepted by all HDTVs

  1080p (50Hz) A good choice if your TV accepts a 1080p HDMI input

  720p (50Hz) A good choice if your 'HD Ready' TV has 720 or 768 lines of
resolution

  576i (50Hz) Use only if your TV is Standard Definition

  576p (50Hz)  1080i (60Hz)  1080p (60Hz) 720p (60Hz)  480i (60Hz)  480p
(60Hz) Use these only under special circumstances
