Poor picture on SS1 - TV Programmes

The picture for the WBA vs Everton game is horrible. There is ghosting around the players and the definition is poor on the players faces. This is worse on the wide angled shots

I realise that picture quality is generally becoming poorer but this should not happen on one of Sky’s flagship channels

No ghosting on my TV and the player and crowd definition is acceptable, having said that the less than ideal bitrate or perhaps encoding is showing up on the grass, little too smooth

Prem+ always seems to look better than the footy on the SS channels although right now there is live sport on all 4 of them which must be taxing any stat muxing that SKY may be using as at least two SS channels share a transponder.
