I'd suggest that most videophiles OWN or Acquire media and do NOT watch over small dish or Cable.
Both of them are compressed to death. My 'hi-def' over small dish looks about as good as a regular, upsampled DVD. Standard def is almost All soft by comparison.
Nobody at those services wants to talk about compression. Audio and Video.
I can hardly wait for 4k video. Small Dish will destroy it, I'm sure.
A movie like AVATAR, when properly shown, might make all the hassle worthwhile. For a number of years, equipment testers used the Bruce Willis SciFi entry 'The Fifth Element' as a standard.
And yes, I see some color shifts. Some movies stored for a long time have degradation in the emulsion which causes color shift. A GOOD TRANSFER to Digital should address that. And the sound, too.
I have a BR transfer of The Omega Man. Good SciFi starring Chuck Heston. Transfer is pretty good and sound is MONO, I think. The Transfer of 2001, Space Odyssey is much better both visually and audibly. Great job.
And yes, I'm sick and tired of 'franchise movies' endlessly repeating and recycling about a dozen scripts.
That's why a few 'gems' are appreciated all the more.
Too much is never enough
