I have been wanting to write about this a while but I thought the number of sympathetic ears would be low :-)
In the old days of NTSC and PAL TV we had to put up with a 4% speedup from film or US TV shows. One had hoped that would have gone away with HDTV but alas no.
One glaring example is Big Bang Theory. From what I can find it's captured in 1080i/60 but we get a converted version at 50Hz which still is sped-up by 4%. This is particularly noticeable on the opening song credits and Sheldon's voice if you compare broadcast with BluRay (or a torrent version :-) )
In the old days I found this speedup so annoying I would rarely buy PAL DVD's but always imported NTSC ones from Amazon.
I am wondering now with the growth of streaming TV where this framerate is not so important do Lightbox or Neon still stream the 50Hz version of the 60Hz version? I vaguely remember when Lightbox was out in trial and I checked it out the speeds were still fast but that was a couple of years ago now.
Now while local broadcasters say they are screening show the day after the US premiere, I still prefer to view my shows from other sources :-)
