Zotac ION and the big game

Did anyone have any issues watching the "big game" yesterday on their Zotac
ION systems? I normally have mine configured for Advanced (1x, HW) - or
maybe it was Advanced (2x, HW) as a deinterlacer. Recently, I updated to
the latest SVN but hadn't noticed any issues. But while watching the game,
everything was choppy. I believe after all was said and done, I ended up on
Temporal (1x, HW).

For other Zotac ION users, what VDPAU deinterlacer do you use and have you
encountered any issues with the Advanced set?

Primary: Bob 2x
Fallback: Temporal 1x
Custom filers: vdpaubuffersize=6 (not sure if I still need that)

I don't think the advanced deints work at all for me. I'm happy with
the above settings, and had no issues with the big game.

I use Temporal 1x as my main deint on my Zotac ION (330 dual core) - I
had issues with even Advanced 1x.

I used to have my Zotac runing my 'big screen' (120" screen with a
1080p projector). I swapped machines around and now have a computer
with a GT220 driving it and using Advanced 2x - and I did notice an
improvement, especially for something like last night's game.

I forget if I use temporal or advanced but if its 720p,
which I think CBS uses, I don't use any de-interlacer.

FE Only IONITX-C-U with 1GB (2 x 512 MB) DDR2 800 RAM (Kingston 1.8v), 80GB WD 2.5" HDD

I had no problems watching the game. I use a custom playback profile that says if rez is > 0x0 use VDPAU. In other words, use VDPAU for everything. My deinterlacers are set to:
Primary: 1x Advanced
Fallback: 1x Temporal
No filters

Composite is disabled in my xorg.conf
