That has a lot to do with the speed of the processor, the response time 
of the viewing unit and the compression of the video. It is possible to 
get "artifact free" digital video streams. However, most folks are more 
into quantity than quality - and this includes consumers as well as the 
broadcasters.

The mandated change over to digital TeeVee by broadcasters is, on the 
surface, a good thing. More bandwidth per channel, etc. But, our 
wunnerful congresscritters left a loophole in the program you could pass 
a pregnant elephant through. Most broadcasters who are doing digital 
have improved the quality of their main signal stream only slightly 
above the 480 line (interlaced) standard signal that they have been 
beaming for yonks. They use the additional bandwidth left over to 
broadcast other streams - which gives them (according to their plan) 
increased revenues.

In this as in all things - to get to the truth, follow the money.
