Last year the subject of remastering UFO in HD with true surround
sound was discussed at some length; the conclusion being it would be
prohibitively expensive and therefore unlikely. There was a rumour
that a production company was interested in doing this - although it
was denied. Surely if UFO *has* been re-remastered in HD, we would
have heard about it? Incidentally, where are you reading these
comments?? :-)


If these transmissions are not new HD masters, I find it difficult
to believe that they could look any better than the DVDs would, even
on a conventional player and TV. Judging picture quality is mostly
subjective and also depends on what you're comparing it to, if
anything at all! :-)

I understand that it might be possible for SD recordings to look
slightly better if played on a HD player and TV - has anyone
actually done this with the UFO DVDs and could confirm this is true,
in their opinion?
