In the direction of North American, perhaps? :-)

Seriously, though.

As ever, Phil knows his video stuff... The 100hz processing removes
flicker, not blur.

The processing isn't smart enough to work out where the ball SHOULD be
on the intervening frames it inserts, so it's hard to see how on earth
it could ever do so :-)

One minor annoyance with my telly, which is a Loewe Xelos that's about
6 years old now, is that the processing does NOT particularly like
being fed a progressive scan signal from a DVD player - the noticeable
artifact is that there is a band of "greeny-purple" on about the
top
1cm of the picture. This band still shows the picture, but colour
shifted in some bizarre way. Turning the DVD player back to
interlaced, and letting the telly manage the picture processing, sorts
out the problem.

I would hope that this is fixed on the current generation of Loewes.

Oh, and I'd understood was pronounced lurv-ehr... but the three
different vendors I asked gave me three different answers - so I'm
picking the answer from the vendor who talked no bullshit in the rest
of his presentation :-)
