Wasnt really sure where to post this but a lot of you F1 fans will be watching on Sky Sports in UHD.

I've never noticed this before on my previous TV but watching on an 85" Samsung QN90C (not sure if the model matters, but perhaps others with 4k Samsung's might comment), I can see this pixelation whenever there is fast moving action around the driver timing box. It's hard to capture and does not show if you pause the live tv. But it's very noticeable every time the picture is panned out and the camera is tracking the car.

The same pixelation seems to exist on my 65" 1080p TV but is not nearly as noticeable.

If I reduce the resolution to 1080p (and record the 1080p broadcast), the same pixelation is there at exactly the same moment.

Most likely a broadcast issue but surprised if this isn't being raised by others as it's very distracting.

Always the way - as soon as I posted, I found the answer. It's because of Picture Clarity settings and, in particular, Blur Reduction. With that switched off, it's gone away. Might be useful to someone else.
