The background of the digital picture does not change, they do that to conserve bandwidth. You will also notice the players faces aren't clear on digital, where as on Analogue you can ID the player quite easy, even from a distance.
Having said that, the Kent area have stopped the Analogue service, and the noise (interferance) has all but gone, so most of the problems that plague digital have also gone.
That's a little unfair, given that football is probably the thing that digital TV is worst at. It's not a matter of conserving bandwidth, it's just how digital TV (well, MPEG compression) works. That's why the Sky Sports channels have a higher bandwidth than anything else (apart from, um, BBC1...)
