Whenever I pause a screen, the On Screen Display (OSD) pops up and stays there.
As it covers probably the lower fifth of the screen, I wasn't always able to see whether the ball had crossed the line, it was a knock-on, who actually threw the first punch etc.
I found by pressing the Back button on the remote control the OSD disappears leaving a crystal clear paused display.
I hope this helps some other discerning pedants in our fight for sporting justice.
