What would you call the kind of motion blur you see in this image, and what causes it?
This is how my cable TV looks. I've had them replace the box, which doesn't fix it, and if I pause it when one of the artifacts appears and switch the box to a different TV, the blur is still there, which tells me it isn't my TV/amp. And watching the same program on a media center has no artifact at all.
Cable company doesn't know what's causing it, but it makes TV damn near unwatchable. Any idea what's making it happen, so I can either tell them how to fix it, or just say fuck em?

In that gif it's just shitty compression. They use webm now for a reason.

that in the image seems to be a mix of
- compression artefacts
- the fact that GIF only supports one set of 256 colors within an image, maybe related: shitty algorithm for dithering
what would cause that on a TV, idk

Will the cable tv stream (including on demand) have compression issues?
other random fact - if I go frame by frame, it doesn't appear. only shows at normal speed.

digital tv can show artifacts if the signal is low (pic related, random image for satellite TV / dvb-s) but I've never seen it like your picture
have you replaced the cables yet? any weird bends in the cable, boxes/switches between wall and receiver?

a guy came and replaced everything except the coax running across the attic. Said everything checked out (briefly had that digital error when he removed the signal booster my old cable company had, which lead to him replacing everything network related from the yard in).
Made a webm of the artifact. Paused the tv at the end, to show how it exists even when paused.

this is an mpeg2 artifact, which means your cable company is not conforming to current DVB specs for some reason. absolutely nothing you can do about it senpi
