i am aware that i am replying to a very old post, but to answer the question for others who may be asking the same...
obviously it plays fine with the blu-ray but not with "virgin media" which ill assume is cable tv with a cable box.
how the live broadcast content is being captured by what type of camera that feeds into a "trailer" that has a team of people to control, edit and process the feed before it is uploaded by satellite to a satellite in space and then downloaded by satellite to multiple "locations" across different areas of the planet to "distributors" who then pass the feed through fiber optic cables or microwave radios to "providers" who also have a team of people that control, edit and process the feed for their terrestrial broadcast company, cable company or satellite company.
this is the easiest way i could explain how the path of a source feed can be and will be altered/changed many times before finally reaching the consumer, issues which cause MPEG compression artifacts, temporal motion distortion, frame sync issues, luma and chroma issues.
if you could connect your tv to a digital HDMI "convertor/scaler" direct from the camera feed at a live event, the difference you would see is comparable to that of a CGI created movie on blu-ray at its native resolution but much better.
