Space:1999 on Blu-ray disc

Hi all,

It looks like A&E will be releasing Space:1999 on Blu-ray disc:

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Space-1999-Season-1-Blu-ray/14110

So hopefully they'll be releasing UFO at some point too...

Network has also just announced a UK Blu-ray release of Space:1999
year one, apparently with all the extras from their previous DVD
release and also a 4:3 (original) aspect ratio.

Given that the A&E and Network Blu-ray releases of THE PRISONER
were virtually identical, it appears that this may be what's
happening with Space:1999.

Now if we could just get Network/A&E to produce a UFO Blu-ray
release in its original aspect ratio...

I have searched Network DVD site through and through and couldn't find anything about Space: 1999. Happy to hear from you that they have announced it.(and then I finally found it: http://www.networkdvd.net/index.php - much better design then A&E)
It is curious how people found Network DVD color inferior to that of ITV HDbroadcasts. I always thought Network transfer was much better, and then when I compared screenshots, it turned out that ITV HD was really better and more natural...

Well, I think Network's DVD *always* have a better cover design than
A&Es... :-)

You have to be careful with screenshots -- standard definition and high
definition have two differ "color spaces", and sometimes when doing
PC screenshots people forget to set the appropriate color space, and
then you draw the wrong conclusion about the accuracy of the original
source. I know that when I did my UFO SD/HD comparison shots on my
website (http://ufoseries.com/hdtv/), I did *not* pay attention to
this, and I think maybe the HD versions were unfairly criticized
(not that I've had time to go back and correct these!)
