Message: <blockquote data-quote="alexpaige" data-source="post: 355629" data-attributes="member: 55379">HI folks, I'm really confused about the availability (or lack of) of the remastered prints in HD on Apple TV+/itunes and wondering if anyone here can clarify for me...I'm in Australia, so I appreciate there might be some difference between what is available from Apple here and what's available overseas.However, it also seems there is some confusion about the use of the term "HD" to describe the restored prints, even when they are only available in SD versions.To explain: when I look at Apple TV+ and iTunes here in Australia, almost all the old prints seem to have been replaced by the new restored ones, but the only episodes I can see available in actual HD (ie 1080p) are:- All but 2 episodes of Seasons 1 & 2- All of Season 6- Most (not all) of Season 9Everything else is still only in SD (480p), albeit in the newly remastered prints. There are other episodes *mislabelled* as HD on AppleTV+, but when you click on them, they are actually SD.As far as I can tell this is the same on the iTunes store. And from switching regions to the US and UK, it seems the same in all regions.So I'm wondering whether people who are saying the episodes are "available in HD" are not distinguishing between the newly remastered prints in SD, and HD versions of the same.From what I can see, what iTunes/Apple TV appear to be doing is first replacing all the old prints with SD versions of the new masters, and only after that adding HD versions.Would be interested to hear if anyone has a different take on this.</blockquote>
