You love a company that BROKE THE LAW and lied to customers?!?!? (Not just once, but repeatedly with illegal rolled-back odometers & noncompliant gasoline cars). That’s just stupid. I too own a TDI but it will be my last. Damn Volkswagen to the same hell the Nazis went to..... I have boycotted this company for life

I drove the Ford Fiesta and the I-3 was no more rough than an I-4. I also own a Honda Insight, and its 3-cylinder engine is “smoothed” by the electric motor pulsing in sync with the engines vibrations. It’s even smoother than my Civic I4.

> “you can only record over-the-air TV. That means your choice of DVR-able content is pretty limited.”

It is not illegal for a private user (me) to upload a recorded video from my home to my phone.  I’ve done it many times

In the 90s and early 2000s they had DVRs that could record over-the-air television..... only difference is those recorded NTSC and the Amazon DVR records ATSC.  There’s nothing illegal here

> I would gladly pay a reasonable monthly fee from now to infinity for HD restorations of all Trek

>A show about watching paint dry on the hull of a ship that never goes anywhere....

What data?  The CGI was lost when the original effects company (Foundation Imaging) went bankrupt in 2002.  The data is gone.

CGI? For the 1960s Star Trek? I do not think so. They used physical models

>more episodic films, where everything does not need to be resolved in one film.

Oh puleeze. 35 mm masters from 80 years ago (Gone with the Wind, Wizard of Oz, etc) are still being scanned & refurbished to beautiful quality.  And that 35mm film was made from fragile materials..... the 35mm film used in the 80s/90s was far more stable.

Strange.... I liked DS9's ending.  Not as good as Babylon 5's ending, but still a good conclusion to the overall war.  (As if war ever has a good conclusion.)

Most of DS9 was done with models (yes even the huge battle scenes). Voyager went CGI early because it was UPN’s flagship show, but the non-network DS9 did not go full CGI until seasons 6 and 7.  Prior to that nearly everything was a physical model.

Why would TOS have to be standard def video? It was captured on 35mm film (model effects too), so that means it is already stored in high definition. It’s just a simple matter of scanning the negatives & selling the result on HD-Bluray.

>I hate it when I see such shows (e.g. X-Files, Buffy) broadcast today where they lop off part of the top and bottom to fake widescreen

> Fox did its best to kill DS9 by broadcasting the last few seasons late at night on Saturday.

> I wouldn’t really care too much for a continuation of either of their plots

At first Voyager was declared “lost” in season 2, but around season 5, Voyager made contact with Earth, and then Starfleet said “Sorry we have no way to get out that far (50 year away), but we will continue researching faster warp speeds.”
