The only SkyHD box that you can achieve this is with the original Thomson box, but it is seriously flawed. Current wisdom is that the Thomson is actually outputting the interpolated fields from its shoddy deinterlacing rather than the originals. A DVDO VP with PReP is the only solution that I'm aware of for interlaced SD over HDMI with SkyHD. The Samsung box's deinterlacing is supposed to be a lot better though, so it would be possible to live with 576p. The Thomson's deinterlacing is awful.
