I'm glad I discoverd this thread. Interesting, I had no idea that the HD broadcast was HDTV in widescreen and 5.1 audio.
I don't have the ability to see it yet. I thought it was kinda odd that the Bond films were shown with the HD logo on the screen being the films are older. I figured a lot of people would think it was a gimmick. As I only have regular TV, it was full screen format, so I thought, what's the deal here.
Lastnight, I only saw the Cairo sequence on Raiders and the chase sequence when Indy says, "I don't know, I'm making this up as I go." It surprised me that a broadcast picture looked better then my widescreen laserdisc of this movie! I compared the two and I was impressed with the color and contrast. The red of Marion's pants were so deep, as good or almost better then the laserdisc. But the laserdisc was definitely lacking, looking almost like videotape!
