[tizoc]

Does anyone know if SCiFi channel will air the new episodes in High Definition Format (1080p) and 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound this summer???

skyone does but I dont think scifi does, I'm not sure if they'll start.

[tizoc]

yeah!

I know SkyOne does have them on HD ...but why would't Sci Fi have them on std def?

My Samsun 42" Plasma HDTV cries everytime I watch Stargate on SCiFi.

I know SGA is aired in Hight Def in Canada when they air on the Movie Network.

My cable co. doesn't even carry Sci-Fi on digital. (it's not HD but still better than analog.) That's why the DVDs are such a must for me, I can really enjoy it alot better. (did anyone notice that since season 6 the show is at least widescreen, and the DVDs transfers are of much better quality than 1-5?.....and I wonder if the season 1-5 DVDs are "fake" widescreen, because wasn't it shot originally in 4:3?)

EDIT: Oh yeah, analog is really painfull on a 56" HDTV, fixed pixel display lol. (JVC DILA 720P)

This is my first post. Yay.



I think the chances of the show being aired on scifi at either 720p or 1080i are low.

However, I would buy a HD-DVD player if the shows were released in the HD-DVD format.

Folks, in the USA, the only way that we will see SG1/A in HD is if NBC picked them up and ran with it and I think that would kill the show.

Seeing as how Sony owns MGM now, I think Stargate will be heading for Blu Ray rather than HD-DVD.

Sadness.

Well it would be great then if they would offer HD downloads via something like www.im.com

*sigh*

I was watching the Stargate Atlantis Marathon yesterday and some eps seem to be HD - 720

SciFi (US) is a standard def channel only - there is no high def version.

In the case of battlestar galactica it (is/was) broadcast in HD on universal HD, but stargate does not air in HD in the US.

For those capable of receiving Canadian channels (specifically TMN/MC HD & CityHD) you can receive both SG1 & SGA in HD.

It's true that SciFi only shows Stargate in standard def., but the last few years the show has been shot in hi-def. (or better than it used to be.) The last few seasons look alot better on DVD, and season 8 says "mastered in high definition." They are simply being downsized to show on tv, but they already have HD versions of the show ready for transfer.

Dag nabit, well then I would pay to watch streams of the show in HD or have it cache on my HD and then expire in a few days using some sort of DRM, just so long as I could watch it when the show airs on scifi.

Is this making sense to anyone else or this just one mans delusional scifi wetdream?
