Oh, by the way, a list member has had a recent breakthrough --
he's been able to extract the MPEG-2 stream off of his Dish
Network DVR, resulting in a perfect copy of the UFO episodes
being shown on Family Room HD!
As expected, this channel is not broadcasting in full HDTV
(1920 x 1080 interlaced), but instead is only 66% of the
resolution of full HDTV -- 1280 x 1080i. The resulting
MPEG-2 files are 4 to 5 GB.
While not full HDTV, that's still quite a bit better than
the UFO DVD's, which are 720 x 576 (PAL) or 720 x 480 (NTSC),
and typically are about 2 GB per episode.
So hopefully in the near future I will be updating my
UFO HDTV page with some actual frame captures (and
perhaps a very brief clip), which should be an improvement
over the current photographs of a HDTV screen!
