[pvrusb2] Fuzzy Video using Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2

[cardboil]

Sorry I forgot to mention...I am not using an Nvidia card.  I am using an
ATI Mobility Radeon X300 on my laptop, with an S-Video out.

I do have deinterlacing turned  OFF in MythTV.  I will try the sysfs method
you mention below...

Any other clues based on the mplayer output above?
