Actually interlaced video kinda makes sense for sports and other live video.. you get 50 fields per second, so the movement is smooth..
720p50 or even 720p60 would give superior motion with in practise better vertical resolution than 1080i. It would better to let the video encoder lose data in a controlled way than rudely alternating between two 540 line fields with interlaced video. Also now when carbon footprint matters it's insane to double every set top box / HDTV power consumption at recipient side for doing magical motion vectors based tricks in trying to restore the 1080 line image.
If you look at interlaced video on a progressive display, then you need to do pretty heavy deinterlacing, preferrably using "full motion" methods to get 50 or 100 fps output.. takes a lot of CPU. Check http://www.100fps.com
Where did you get that stream from btw?
Recorded from Anixe HD yesterday.
Digita is broadcasting this channel as 720p in DVB-T.. dunno if it's 25 fps or 50 fps.. Hopefully not 25 fps..
In what format is that Arte HD?
At the moment

But that was an old B/W film so not real HD content.
