I hardly care about OTA stuff, my concern is that HD-DVD and bluray will not be as stellar as d-theater titles. From comment's I've heard from the folks working with the studios on this, they're just aiming to get HD encodes better than OTA, which is a pretty low bar, unfortunately :frowning:

This is very misleading; ONLY at the same or similar resolution and framerate. For instance a native 480p source is superior to a 480i source. 1080p superior to 1080i. If you are insinuating that 720p is good and 1080i is bad, that would be wrong. Interlaced display is a very important...
