If you want good interlaced TV-out with much less problems and tinkering, I'd recommend getting a full-featured DVB card or a Dxr3/Hollywood+ card (that'll cost less than EUR 15 on eBay).
I'd say that -P"softdevice -vo:mgatv" (on a G450) is less hassle than -Pdxr3. Because my dxr3 broke only after a couple of months of usage and I've been using softdevice for almost 1.5 years now, I may be biased. Softdevice has gotten a lot more stable during that time.
I also switched from dxr3 to softdevice with a matrox G450 about 10 months ago.
For me the G450 has been a lot more stable. With the dxr3 I had crashes, OSD failures etc etc. I was upgrading my vdr dxr3plugin version every week or so hoping things would improve.
Reading the lists it would seem that the dxr3 solution has improved: perhaps I jumped ship just a bit early... Even if this is so I am still glad I converted.
Regardless, IMHO softplay makes softdevice a superior solution.
