    Welcome to the Roku Community, esturni!

    Thanks for letting us know about this issue with the Roku TV since the live sports on your cable box are blocky and blurry. We're happy to help.

    Suppose your live cable TV looks poor quality on a Roku TV. In that case, it's likely due to a mismatch between the signal your cable box is sending (which might be an older, interlaced format) and your TV's display capabilities or incorrect picture settings on the Roku itself; you might need to adjust your cable box settings, change the Roku picture mode, or even check your cable connection for potential issues. 

    For more information, please see this support article: Why does the picture from my cable or satellite box look bad on my Roku TV?

    We hope you'll find this information useful. Please keep us posted if there's anything else we can do to assist you.

    Best regards,
