GH2 and the BMD HyperDeck Shuttle Record Problems

Question

Hello All :-)
I have a BMD HyperDeck Shuttle 2 and it records uncompressed and in the DNxHD (220) codec.
I can import, play and edit the files just fine, but there's a major problem that makes the files useless.
Static scenes are fine except they are flat and require color correction to make them aesthetically acceptable. 
The main problem is that the files have horrible interlacing problems... and I'll explain.
First of all, it doesn't matter whether I shoot in FSH, HBR, 24p or don't hit the camera record button at all and just record from the cleaned display... the same problem occurs, so it isn't a camera setting (I've spent 2 days experimenting with different cam settings as well).
When panning I get fine interlacing lines.  They are annoying and unacceptable in their own right, but it gets worst.  Once encoded (as in for distribution) the problem is accentuated.  Huge lines appear and and make the video look horrible... it is unusable.
On close inspection of the files in PP CS6 I can see that the file is filled with ghost images, which I thought were a result of duplicate frames that the GH2 has served to the BMD Shuttle 2.
I've read about certain fixes for this and a the color shift issues, but  a) most sound too difficult to be used in a practical workflow and at the end of the day, they may not even work.
So I'm here with hat in hand hoping that a discussion might yield some fruit that can help me, and others that are having the same problem or looking to use a Shuttle with their GH2s.
Update...
I said that extra frames were being added, well I read that recording from the GH2's HDMI port added and deleted frames randomly, and that clouded my judgment and made me lean in that direction,  but upon closer inspection (I was going to experiment with manually removing the extra frames) I found that there are no extra frames per-say.
The ghosting I described is at the heart of the problem.
When panning each frame appears to be a combination of 2 frames at different times.  So depending on the speed of the pan (and the shutter speed - the higher the SS the closer together is the dual images) you get an interlaced image (half of the lines) at one point in time, and another (the other half of the lines) at a later point in time. 
Where they overlap, the image is solid, but on either side you have a "ghost" image which when played back you can see through the image where the missing lines are, thereby giving a notched edge  effect.
And I haven't even wrapped my head around how I can fix that yet??
Thanks for your interest and feedback!!

Hello Guys,
AS far as the signal I don't know what to believe.
Panasonic says that the new HBR mode is 1080/30p, but various video reporting tools reads the files as 1080/60i when recrding to the internal card.
I was told that no matter what setting you had for record mode, the HDMI spits out 1080/60i, yet others have said that you can get it back to 24p by using a pull down... but how can you get it back if the HDMI port is just putting out a signal from the sensor at 1080i without regard of the recording mode??
Anyway I ran a test just before I had to leave for an appointment, so I didn't have time to beat it up yet, but the results look promising!
Here's what I did:  I recorded to BMD Hyperdeck using it's built in DNXHD codec (doesn't matter what record mode) and in fact I never hit the camera's record button, I just took the raw signal comming out of the HDMI port.
Trust me, for this test I tried every setting and combination that I could think of and it didn't matter for this test what combination I used, the results were the same.
Then I conformed the video clip in my bin to Upper First.  That seemed to fix the problem as long as I was in PP CS6, however upon export the problem still occured.
Then upon export I chose progressive in media encoder.
That combination seemed to fix the problem, although I'm working on a project and haven't had time to do anything but glance at the resulting H.264 output file yet.
I'll do further testing and report back.
If this works it will illiminate the need to run the files through yet another program.
