I wonder if it would be possible to find the individual with the broadcast digi beta tape for star wars episode IV a new hope special edition, and if they still have the tape do a new modern transfer of it on a new better capture card or method.

Highly unlikely. I know.

When was the last time they broadcast the 1997 versions, didn't ady say they did sometime ago in the UK, they showed one of the three films in SD from 1997 and the other 2 in HD from 2004. I am not sure but i think it was ROTJ.

There are a few DVB transfers of these seems like. What ones are there, reivax, flunk, TB, and gkar. And not complete sets for all.

Reivax and Flunk are just episode IV i believe.

Not sure which is the Canal+ broadcasts maybe the TB.

The reivax is better than the LD but some scenes are a little too dark, like the scene where Owen talks to threepio at the droid auction.

Is there a copy of that '97 RoTJ floating around? Did anyone record it, or do we only know of it?
