This is actually where my concern lies...I find 576i/576p is perfect (well, syncs at least, it isn't the best resolution, as horizontal resolution of 720 doesn't match the dot mask and causes colour distortion. I believe 576i/p are specifically PAL countries, and so is not a US SDTV spec, so is operating correctly at 50Hz (ie 25Hz interlaced).However as soon as I go to 1080i (which is a US HDTV spec) I'm wondering if that is internally defaulting to 60Hz (30Hz interlaced) assuming that it is outputing to a US TV, and I am just unable to force it to switch over to 50 Hz.I'm thinking that perhaps my TV can't sync to the 60Hz 1080i signal.Whereas it assumes that 576 must be a PAL signal and so correctly sets 50Hz first time. No Proof on this point, just a hunch
