There are no hdtv rips for Stargate or Atlantis. They are not syndicated and is owned by Sci Fi, which does not broadcast in hd format.

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) The premiere of "Stargate Atlantis," the spinoff of the Sci Fi Channel's popular "Stargate SG-1" series, delivered some of the best ratings in the network's history.

The two-hour series premiere on Friday (July 16) drew nearly 4.2 million viewers, the biggest-ever audience for a weekly series on the cable network. (Some miniseries, such as "Taken" and "Battlestar Galactica," have averaged more viewers.)

It also marked the first time a Sci Fi series has ever delivered more than 4 million viewers and better than a 3.0 household rating (3.2). Its ratings among adults 18-49, the key demographic for advertisers, were also a network best.

I think the big appeal about atlantis is that it is allready apparent we dont have your run of the mill 2-D SciFi characters.
The only other series I can think of that managed this is SG-1.
There have been a couple of movies and mini series that have managed this though I think SG-1 deserves more credit for managing it for 7 years.

OMG this is too good to be true. Stargate Atlantis is broadcasted (although one week late), on TMN HD in beautiful 720p HD video with 5.1 AC-3 surround sound.

*fap*

im sure there was a hdtv rip out of atlantis - at least it seemed it im aware there was a couple of rips 1 was a digital source and 1 hdtv from canada - but maybe not

I don't want the fake HDTV rips. hdtv-lol, and so forth add it to the file names. A 350 MB file cannot be a HDTV file. A true 720p XViD file will be almost 800 MB for a 40 minute episode. The Atlantis premiere will have to be 1.8 GB in size in DIVX/XVID format before I trust it to be really 720p.

Thought I'd revive this thread rather than make a new one.
So has anybody been watching Atlantis? If you have what do you think? If you havent I think you will be pleased to know its supposed to be coming onto SKY:ONE sometime in the next month, they are just coming upto the mid-season break in the states and this is when they normally start on SKY:ONE.

Im really enjoying it so far and Dr McKay is by far my favorite Charactor, mostly because hes great, and he knows it!!

Ive also noticed that SG-1 is going downhill fast at the moment and has allready been replaced by Atlantis as my Favorite SciFi for the time being.

Sweet, now I am looking forward to that, though I hope they put the original theme back in
