What are you talking about? There's no such thing as broadcasting with a soap opera effect. There's a such thing as recording a show in a video format as opposed to film or vice-versa, but that's about it. Shows shot on video tend to have much higher contrast and are lit differently than movies. Comedy shows are shot either as a multicamera shoot or like film, as a single camera shoot. Friends and Seinfeld were both shot on film, single camera. Most situation comedies (sorry, can't think of a current one) are generally shot multi-camera and on video. Dramas can be shot on film or video, but even when shot on video (digital), they are generally given a filmic look in post production, like Game of Thrones or The Borgias.
The one thing you can't get away from is that TV is broadcasting at 30 frames per sec/60 fields per second (actually usually 29.97 fps if drop frame) interlaced as opposed to the 24 fps that films are generally shot and presented at (The Hobbit being a notable exception), but that in itself will not cause the soap opera effect when watching a movie on TV. For 24 fps movies, the 3:2 pulldown is used just as it was in analog TV.
If you don't want to see the soap opera effect, simply turn off motionflow on the HX929. End of story.
