The source frame rate and the display output do not always match neatly, so motion can look different without any change in download speed.

Why this happens
Live television and films are not all produced at one frame rate. A player sending a fixed output to the display may have to repeat frames to fit a source with a different cadence. This is most noticeable in steady camera pans, moving pitch lines and scrolling text. The result can be a regular unevenness rather than a complete freeze. A television’s advertised refresh rate also does not establish the frame rate encoded in a particular channel.
On devices that provide content matching, use that platform’s instructions rather than assuming there is a universal IPTV setting. Apple TV, for example, documents frame-rate matching and the short display transition it can cause. Other players may handle the same source differently. Compare one supported setting on the same programme, then restore it if the change makes matters worse. If the source itself contains fewer distinct motion frames, forcing a higher output number cannot create the original camera movement that was never transmitted.
A useful way to work through it
Record the source frame rate separately from the television output rate.
Compare a supported matching option using the same sports feed.
Judge repeated motion judder separately from pauses or connection errors.
