#3, are you sure? The source material is something close to 4:3, it was not shot in widescreen. Also, it's about 40 years old so there's only so much remastering they can do after telecining it. If you saw the high-def CBS logo overlapping the picture into the black area (just like in the sample pictures in the article), you were getting the remastered hi-def version. I have Comcast HD in the pacific northwest and got exactly what is shown here in the article.
#4, Hear, Hear! on copying it off the DVR. I rarely care enough to take the time (1:1 dubbing via firewire plus transcoding on a 733 G4) to pull things off my Motorola dvr, but in this case I'll be making an exception!
I'm also _really_ looking forward to capturing and encoding a couple hours of the Yule Log broadcast on InHD this Christmas. I wonder how many hours of DivX HD you can fit into 4.4 gigs....
