To paraphrase elsewhere in this thread, Smart TVs don't seem to be all that smart. And viewing sport programs (so not Spark Sport per se) is making that abundantly clear.

 

My conclusion is that sport is the problem. If you watch TV there is motion blur but we don't care, as we are watching the Fast and the Furious car, not the Golden Gate flashing past in the background. Sky has motion blur on balls, but its relatively minor and interlaced disguises that a little, but its definitely there. But its ok. Progressive and TV smarts to fill in frames, seems to give varying results. F1 at 60fps is great, but there is motion blur, but again I'm not fixated in a round or oval ball. I feel that if we all agree the Netflix is great, (a baseline) and if Netflix started playing sport, we would have the same issues.I was watching a soccer game at 60fps, the ball was good. Not perfect, but good. Occasionally it motion blurred more then its fine, the changing background mattered. Is that Spark Sport, is it the encoding, is it the feed, is it my TV, is it my Apple TV? My base was that Sky was best, but after all these 160 odd pages, I had a look at Sky, and the golf that  I watch does have motion blur on the ball. Not every frame though. I never noticed it, but now that all of us are motion blur fanatics with balls, yes its noticed more. We are looking for it. before, on Sky, its there too, we never looked for it.
