Sky news stream worse quality than other channels

The Sky News stream on the Now app on my Samsung TV seems to be worse quality than the other channels I receive.

I have the Now Boost option but Sky News looks noticeably more jerky and juddery than the other channels despite the stream quality reading 7831.

Anyone know why?

Hi @Anonymous User 

The Sky News ticker bar for me on every NOW playback device I have ever tried (which is a lot) has always been jerky with stuttering.

Sorry I don't know of a fix where I have tried forcing 50hz and 60hz on various TV's without any success. 

Perhaps email NOW direct using the email address on this screenshot below.

Hi @Anonymous User 

You could try some motion processing on your TV to see if that reduces things, though I don't use motion processing myself because I can't stand the Soap Opera effect.

I just did a quick search on Google by typing "Sky News ticker juddery" and there was quite a few results with complaints (even on the Sky Satellite platform).
