I'm not positive but I think you are seeing the effects of compression to achieve more unwanted channels instead of fewer high quality channels. This usually manifests itself on us satellite (DirecTV,DishNetwork) viewers but you may also be getting the shaft from the cable companies. It shows up in high speed sports the most, side views of race cars, tennis ball tracks, boxing punches, etc.
"The trouble with mass transit is the masses." It's quanitity not quality.
