Title: "Network" on PBS last night
Post by: Psk on January 10, 2015, 05:18:38 PM
The movie, "Network" was on PBS last night. I hadn't seen the movie since I watched it on VHS years ago, so it would be nice to see it again in HD quality. I turn it on. Disappointed with the very low resolution & quality picture PBS is broadcasting of it. Couldn't they get a copy clearer than my old VHS tape? It was filmed in 35mm, which would make the movie at least HD quality. You can probably even download a better quality version of it in about a half an hour. Maybe they got the K-mart $4.99 special of the movie. This is a 240-360p picture.
