My theory is that the older stuff was record to video tape which gave smooth motion. However, recordings on to digital hard disk just ain't up to it !
In my opinion digital is not yet to a acceptable broadcast standard yet.

That's got nothing to do with it. Uncompressed digital video recordings, whether on tape, HDD, or RAM do not suffer the degradation you refer to.

There's been digital processing in the broadcast Tx chain for almost 40 years.
It's digital *compression* that has led to a degradation of quality, and that's been driven more by commercial rather than technical factors.
The film effect is applied for nothing more than idiotic poncy artistic reasons, if it does save any 'bandwidth' then that's simply a by-product.
