we have a blue ray player, and true hd tv large screen lcd tv, and i have noticed sometimes the movies on the hd channels are not always as clear or smooth as the blue ray. i know this may be a dumb question, but can someone clarify. for example, today i watched the fugitive in hd from the cable on demand, and the picture was ''''''shuddering'''''' more that usual in certain panning shots, like an overhead shot of a city looking downward from a helicopter. can someone shed some light on this? i have made sure the hdmi cables for both connections are of excellent quality.

thanks in advance

what brand do you got? maybe yours are not true hd afterall. best way to know this is consult the manual

hd cable and blu-ray are two different worlds. the problem is companies love to throw around the words hi-def and the consumer figures its all the same. blu-ray has a far better picture quality (pq) than any cable/sat is going to offer. then there is even a difference of pq on blu-rays, the pq is affected by how the film was transfered from the master source to the blu-ray and there are other reasons but i couldnt go over all of them here.

the fugitave has a few flaws in the video to begin with in panning sceens if i remember right.
