Go into the Setup, Appearance and check Separate video mode for GUI
and TV playback.
you can then set a particular refresh rate depending on the resolution
of the video.

Unfortunately, this is based on a resolution only and you can't set a
difference say between 1080i and 1080p

However, you may be disappointed with the end result.
I have a Sony Bravia 46" XBR ; and as this TV does such a magnificent
job at deinterlacing , I thought I should disable the mythtv
deinterlacer, set the refresh rate at say 576i on the TV and let the
Sony does the deinterlacing job...

For one reason or another, it didn't and it looked awful, like no
deinterlacing happened at all..
Seems that Sony deinterlacer and motion engine (as they call it) is
only active when using the build-in tuner. But yes I agree: the Sony
does a great job.

So far, the only good deinterlacer I've found are the ones provided by VDPAU
