Which is why I am slightly against this patch:
Afaict, on DVB-T (SD), all material is signalled as being 
interlaced, although all movies and series are progressive 
(because 24Hz stretched and "interlaced" to 50Hz does not 
produce visible fields).
I suspect who works with interlaced material knows it 
and can set the scaling correctly.

Unrelated: Is a filter possible that detects by 
inspection if frames are interlaced?
