Have you tried the trial of PDVD8 (if you can find it kicking about)? I have no problems with it playing 1080i from UK broadcasts but I did have to improve my graphics hardware. Also using EVR but on Vista x64. Just occasionally it does go crappy and juddery, but either a channel change and back or sometimes a restart of pvrx2 solves that. The rare stuttering is less annoying than poor deinterlacing on sports pans for me (plus working ff/rw) but a perfect H264 decoder is still a holy grail I've not quite found. 90% of the time the PDVD8 codec is perfect for me.
