Does anyone else notice a blur that occurs after fast motion during sports on WFRV both OTA and on Time Warner? For me at least, it's most noticeable after a fast animation (into or out of a replay for example), especially on any text that is on screen. I have never seen this blur on ESPN/ABC, FOX, or on NBC. Is this a problem with my TV or my Tivo, or is this something that's wrong at WFRV?

Weird, considering such a big
Weird, considering such a big fuss was made about this being the first Super Bowl where uncompressed HD was being sent from Miami to CBS' studio.
I'm not really a fan of sports on 1080i networks, and always think CBS and NBC look bad for sports. FOX, ABC and ESPN are 720p which usually, to me at least, looks better for sports and fast-motion things like that.
I have noticed that issue
I have noticed that issue ever since CBS HD launched. At that time we had a 65" Sony rear-projection HDTV and have since used multiple HDTV sets and monitors and noticed it on all of them. I currently use a 50" Samsung Plasma HDTV as my primary set and still see it to this day. This is with both Time Warner Cable HD DVRs, TWC direct connect over clear QAM tuning, and OTA.
Basically, when it is clear it is perfect. But it will occasionally as best as I can describe it, shift out of focus for a second and return to a clear pic. It was always really noticeable on College Basketball games, especially the March Madness tourney. I noticed it throughout the Super Bowl but I guess I'm pretty used to it so it doesn't really bother me too much anymore.
I agree with Mark that 720p usually is suited to sports better than 1080i, but even ESPN HD (720p) lately has seemed to lose some of its ultra crisp look and has started to look a little grainy at times during College Basketball games. Out of all the current sports channels I would have to say that Fox Sports WI HD and Big Ten Network HD look fantastic.
