I thought there was supposed to be a flag in MPEG meta data which indicates whether pairs of fields are interlaced or progressive so decoders can determine how to combine them without doing any complicated picture analysis. Are broadcasters not using the flag properly, or xine not reading it? xine-ui's preferences dialog has an option to disable interlacing for progressive material, have you set that in whichever front-end you're using?
There is. Unfortunately I can't begin to count the number of times I've seen the flag set incorrectly, essentially making it useless.
