Hogan's Heroes TV show on HDNet

This morning I was suprised to see HH on HDNet. They've gone back to the original masters and converted to 1080i. It was so clean!

HDNet has been running "Hogan's Heroes" in high definition for several years -- I remember seeing episodes on HDNet in 2004. And, yes, it does look very clean, and hopefully will set the standard for the quality of the HD conversions that we can hope to see for other classic TV shows in the coming years.

Should work well for all of the shows that were done of film originally. The only fly in the ointment is the aspect ratio. Filming that was done specifically for television was framed with the TV screen in mind. Films for theatrical showing were framed using the theater screen width to height ratio which is why they use pan and scan to adapt them for TV. Lately you get that "letterbox" effect with the black bars top and bottom, HD TTV uses the wide screen format so you get a full screen but I wonder how they'll handle the revers conversions.
