I have an ongoing issue with watching lets say football. I am now coming around to the fact it is a transmission issue.

I used to have a Samsung 26" "HD ready" tv (before you say it, huh? but I live in a circa 1430 cottage and space is an issue) and used to watch Sky sports and although the picture wasn`t great all the time, I never had the issue I about to explain.

After some measuring and aesthetic thinking, we now have a 32" Panasonic Viera, lovely bit of kit with fantastic sound (obviously not a home theatre setup).

Ok let me ramble on. When we decided to get a new Tv, I picked up a 32" backlit LG. Put it in place, lovely, put some footy on.... really visible vertical translucent lines, about 4 of them running down the screen. I thought hang on this tv is faulty. Took it back and exchanged for another. Same thing.
Took it back again and luckily after my photos of examples had it exchanged for the Panasonic.
Now I still get faint translucent bands, not to the same degree, maybe because it isn`t backlit.

If you are still reading uptil now...
Is this normal for football or any panning sport with green? In HD it is lessened but is still there. Problem now is I am looking for the faint bands rather than just watching whats on show.
I think I have seen them on a pub TV, yip sad I know but trying to work out if it is my feed or just the feed in general.
The Panasonic is full HD (soo was the LG) and I am thinking now that I have that resolution I am seeing things that were always there with my old tv which was only 720.

What I am basically asking for is reassurance that this is normal.

Sorry in advance for the lengthy post, but it is a tad annoying.
