^ Thanks for the info re the BD. I already have the DVD set in my list, and as per this thread title, I haven't "given up" and was waffling on whether to get the DVDs (I really don't mind), or wait for more of the BDs, hopefully all four for double the DVD set price (that seems fair-ish...)...

^ Ah, so you're in the UK. Then forget my region-ramblings above. Titfield Thunderbolt was not a title on my list, but is now. I am not sure if I've seen it, but it sounds vaguely familiar. What box sets are you referring to, I'm not finding them. May be too late for me anyway...you do mean BD...

Yes, I noticed that about local HD broadcasts too (OTA, so not compressed just by the cable etc. company). In fact, I have often found that the streamed 720p looks better to me than streamed 1080 from the same source. Especially odd, as I don't think my system handles 720p that well, in...

Some DVDs do look wonderful, it's quite impressive what the producers can do when they want to. With a good player of course, and they were/are all over the map. Well, I've been impressed at least, considering historically what the typical DVD looks like compared to the typical BD. And it's...
