It's a right messy sight on screen. The only thing I can think of is there are deinterlaced versions for UKTV streaming are going on the actual channel playout by mistake. Why this hasn't been flagged after so long I really can't fathom.

Several people have tried to contact UKTV about this, and all they get is a reponse that their technical people have looked at it, everything's fine, they can't see any problems. It's frustrating. It's the sort of thing that anyone with even a smattering of technical knowledge of video should be able to spot right off the bat, so how it's been going on for 8 or 9 months and affecting hundreds of episodes of several different shows and their technical people are claiming they can't see an issue is baffling.

Material being improperly deinterlaced is something that happens quite a lot on small channels, but it really shouldn't be happening with a major long standing broadcaster like UKTV, apart from the occasional hiccup, not going on for months seemingly unnoticed and unfixed.
