Many TV channels are broadcast interlaced (576i, 1080i). If the picture is not deinterlaced, scrolling text and
fast movement look jagged or combed.
With the hardware and system codecs the app cannot control deinterlacing: your device’s firmware decides it.
To make the app deinterlace, play the channel with the software VLC codec: open the player menu and choose
Switch codec > Use software VLC (see Choosing a codec). The app remembers the codec for the
channel, so you only do it once for each channel that needs it.
The deinterlacing method of VLC depends on Settings > Player > Setup codecs preferences > VLC codec quality (visible
in Expert mode only, premium). If the text still looks jagged, or the video stutters on a weak box, try another value
of this option.
