I've noticed this too, and I describe it almost as
"cogging" because the hiccup is very regular.  For
example when a camera pans across a scene I see smooth
panning interrupted by regular jerks.  

I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with
24 vs. 30 frames/sec. content.  I've noticed that I
get "cogging" on some network shows but almost never
on football games.  Aren't some network shows
originally filmed at 24 frames/sec?  Do we need to do
some kind of 3:2 pulldown to make the motion smooth?
