It's amazing how many technology demos I saw at CES 2005 that were trying to 
rectify the problems with interlace on
inherently-progressive displays (and also upconversion to 1080/60P) by trying 
to make it work at consumer price points at the
receiver/display end.  Some made the pain less visible, but none solved the 
problem entirely - especially when things are moving.
They should just pay the big bucks to do a best-effort deinterlace at the 
head-end and get it over with (or produce progressive).
But then that bankrupt Table 3 would get in the way.  What a mess.

Wait - where have I heard that before.... 

It is interesting to note that H.264/AVC has much improved interlace tools that 
help mitigate the gas-guzzling problem, but improved
codec performance for the transmission channel does nothing for the display 
problem.

Good one John!

*Interlace* does indeed seems be p'graphic to some progressives on our list!
