Actually It looked pretty good on Dishnet... get the folks onboard that did the Hot Fuzz PQ and it will be stellar
Well much of the series appeared grainy. Now we will see if thats the way it was intended to be.Actually It looked pretty good on Dishnet... get the folks onboard that did the Hot Fuzz PQ and it will be stellar
Thank goodness they are starting with season 1. If all goes well, we should get the entire series in HD.
If all goes well, we should get the entire series in HD.
Oh Im sure but on D* it wasnt a "popping" grainy picture. I bet the HD DVD looks spectacular, more 3D.

Have they announced the season 3 box sets yet for BG on regular DVD? I thought it was supposed to hit in August.... I guess it got delayed.... A friend of mine has OTA only on his TV and he is dying to see season 3 after I told him about the "Exodus" two parter episode....

Another Take...
Universal Studios Home Video have announced the US HD DVD release of Battlestar Galactica (2004) Season 1 on 4th December 2007 priced at $99.98 SRP. With the 12 colonies of man virtually destroyed in the climax of a hundred-year war with the Cylon Empire, President Roslin (Mary McDonnell) and Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) gather up the few humans left and embark on a journey to find the mythical planet Earth, not realizing that the Cylon robot is no longer a recognizable enemy. Battlestar Galactica is a complete re-imagining of the 1970s series - upping the ante on the action, adventure, and drama that made the original so popular.
The Sci-Fi Channel hit series is now coming to HD DVD with all 13 Season 1 episodes and the mini-series which started it all spread across six-discs in 1080P Widescreen with Dolby True HD 5.1 Surround audio. The DVD extras are also ported across, and are accompanied by “Encyclopedia Galactica” - An interactive guide including ships, characters, colonies and flight training manual and a behind-the-scenes Picture-in-Picture feature – both on the mini-series.
The 6-discs are all dual-layer, HD30 with episodes presented in 1080P 1.78:1 Widescreen with English 5.1 (Dolby True HD and Dolby Digital Plus) and optional English SDH and French subtitles.
Extras are broken down below…
Disc 1 - Judging by the extras and the disc running time (95mins) we believe this disc features the first half of the mini-series…
