I recently bought a 32 inch HD TV, Sony.

With many DSTV transmissions, particularly live golf, I get a smearing effect. Not just blurring, but for example when a golfer walks and they have a shot showing his face, its like his cheeks and eyes move out of relation to each other, like an independent wobble!

Please tell me that this is not a transmission fault!

For DVDs, the signal goes straight from the player to the TV via normal RCA connectors, and it works fine..

For DSTV, it goes from decoder to amplifier to TV. I used this setup before I got the flat screen, and I didn't detect the effect then, but it may be because the picture was so small.

Any suggestions? It's bloody irritating.
