HD movies broadcast on TNT channel

Does Spike TV do that too? I taped the last three Star Wars movies on HD off of that channel a few weeks ago but haven't watched it yet.

You mean you dvr'd it right?

I watched them and the picture seemed way too soft. And I'm not talking about just the original first 3 but the new movies looked noticeably worse then they do on DVD unconverted imo.

Does TNT do something weird with their movies to cause the choppiness (or is it judder?)? They're prety much unwatchable. So last night on my Pioneer 5020 I changed the Pure Cinema setting from Advance to Off which seemed to help. But the thing is before I got the 5020 I'm pretty sure I was noticing this choppiness with my XBR960 (which is a 1080i set).

Also, it looked like it was just the movie that was funky last night, commercials looked fine I think.

yes I get the same thing on my samsung LN46A650 damn TNT
