Depends, some will be of a HD quality from the master copy. Look at "Friends" on Comedy Central HD :)

I noticed that about a month ago... tell you what, really gives subscription TV value over the regular DVDs when you see shows from a few decades back recut to be HD 16:9 instead of SD 4:3.

It's why I'm waiting to see the Star Trek Next Gen HD remaster - which I hope will appear on one of the Sky channels at somepoint

Although knowing our luck it will be Atlantic

Even if it not in HD, it will look better because it can be upscaled.

Seeing how good the screenshots look I think iw ill have to stump up the cash for the Bluray on this.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Oh, I have a soft spot for TNG. About half the episodes were rubbish, but the great ones are among my favourite shows of all time. The Inner Light, Q Who?, Tapestry, Cause and Effect... that's good viewing. And knowing my luck, due to get the HD 16:9 treatment on a channel only for L and XL customers. :o:

Has anyone heard if there are plans on getting the channel MGM on VM.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

No not at the moment Arthur.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Yeah, when i think the broadcasts of the first series on CH4/E4 over the years where horrible, and in 4:3 to, the Comedy central HD remasters are mega, now i want them on Blu-ray. :)

p.s. some of the only fools remasters look ace as well, pity we don't get gold in HD, maybe they could be broadcast on Watch sometime in the future.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I've read others say that the older programmes were shot on film, so can now be shown in HD quality.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Does depend on how it was filmed but often the res it was filmed in is much higher than hd
Which is why we have blu ray versions of terminator etc

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Robin of Sherwood looks amazing on Bluray, even though it was only filmed on 16mm film.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Anything shot in 35mm is higher than HD resolution so once scanned in to a computer a 4K master is usually made.

This means that a 1080p copy can easily be made.

Bingo!
