Watching live sports i get judder, it almost looks like it's dropping every even or odd field.. It might be that it's just that field parity is not observed, but it's a bit hard to make out.
By "judder" do you just mean a slight lack of smoothness or is it quite severe with moving objects jumping backwards each frame? If the former it's probably dropping fields (or deinterlacing to 25fps), if the latter it's got the field parity wrong.
Am beginning to think that nvidia hardware is useless for 50Hz pal output..
Or at least it is with the current drivers. Would it be straightforward to replace your card with an old AGP one? Patched ATI drivers and xinelib, or A Matrox G4x0 (or 550?) with DirectFB are probably more suitable for a CRT TV.
