I just installed PowerDVD (tried 7 & 8) to check out it's de-interlacing capabilties in GBPVR, and indeed it is the best of those I have (Intervideo, nVidia and various others), quite obvious with BBC News 24's ticker.
However, it has a habit of freezing on black or even very dark scenes, while the audio continues - only leaving and returning to the channel will get out of it (I was watching "The Descent" on More 4 last night, so this was about every 5 minutes - gave up and went to another decoder).
Interestingly, a similar thing happens in Hauppauge WinTV using 'overlay', but bringing up any in-picture info (volume etc) gets out of it.
