Anyone else having problems with ESPN's picture going all screwy?

Happened yesterday and again tonight while watching Press Pass and PTI.

Cloud spending continues to surge globally, but most organisations haven’t made the changes necessary to maximise the value and cost-efficiency benefits of their cloud investments. Download the whitepaper From Overspend to Advantage now.

Pretty sure Sky are receiving a feed of ESPN HD and scaling down to SD - Note the ESPN HD markings on the pillarboxes, plus the clips of ESPN they put on the crowd goes wild are HD.

A shame they're not switching over until after the CL final. Perhaps they could use the money they saved not picking up the IPL? :)

Wouldn't it be more logical to think that ESPN downscale the HD content to SD. Most ESPN production must be in HD.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

I was told by the sales team at the TelstraClear store that ESPN would be shifted to Freeview|HD rather than broadcast via Sky's satellite feed.
