Yep, I've been hoping to use an Xbox as a 'TV client' for DVB channels
recently, but the very popular 'Xbox Media Player' and 'Xbox Media
Center' don't seem to have any support for interlaced MPEG2 material, so
horizontal scrolling looks pretty terrible, and the canned answer from
'the community' is "turn deinterlacing on" - agh!!

The project seems to be happy with 'plays DivX OK' :(

Yes, this is a bit off-topic, but I just needed to moan about it..

Cheers,
Gavin.
