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

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

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.

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.
