How did it look? Was it upconverted or True HD?

Guess we'll find out soon enough. I'm sure it'll pop up on TTD or Dime.

HDNet doesn't show upconverts. It was true high definition.

Not so sure of that (at least on those 2 sites), since it is official material.

Great picture, sadly I only caught the last 30 mins. Hopefully they'll re-air it at some point.

Whoops, my mistake. I didn't know it was released.

I thought it was a tv special or something.

Exactly, the show was shot in HD, so the DVD is actually a downcovert of this source.

Tivo'd this, as I'm away from home until Friday. Can't wait to take a look at it-- good opportunity to cue up a track from the DVD and see how much better (if at all) the HD broadcast is.

My cable system had some breakups in the signal, especially early on. Plus, I didn't think this was their greatest show. Glad I watched it, but was a little disappointed.
