kcracer,
The most probable cause is signal compression in the broadcasts. The higher the compression, the more the picture will "blur" around fast moving, or detailed objects.

sorry this is kinda hard to describe but in some fast moving scenes I get a blur or heat wave looking thingy around people or objects that are moving,You really notice it if your watching shows like Family guy or simpsons but have seen it in regular shows as well both in HD or SD.I suspect signal being that it is satellite but thought I would see if anyone else had come across this?
Thanks for any help in advanced
