Does anyone know if any T.V. show will get (re-) released on HD-DVD or BluRay?
Maybe not all shows are available on high def masters if they have been edited on older broadcast standard video systems?

The only one currently announced (that I know of) is Sopranos.

At the moment the only officially announced (and now delayed) Tv Show was The Sopranos (specifically Season 6, Part 1). Other HBO shows have also been mentioned (Deadwood, Band Of Brothers, Angels In America). I believe Battlestar Galactica and Friends have also made an appearance on thelookandsoundofperfect website, but no official release dates yet.

I think 2Entertain (BBC/VCI joint venture) have announced support for HD home formats, I think HD-DVD is the format they are launching with, apparently products are due Q4 this year.

Can always download the likes of 'Lost' or '24' or 'Battlestar Galactica' in HD and burn them to HD DVD formatted DVD+R.

Question with BBC HD content like 'Planet Earth' is will it be in 25p format, and therefore need Euro HD DVD players (with updated firmware) to play it.
