Indeed - I couldn't locate the original 1080i feed of the Japan broadcast unfortunately. It does the trick though - I'll release both BDs, since each version has its pros and cons.
Thanks - yep, that's definitely the same as the 1080i feed unfortunately.
Any chance you could make a few screengrabs of your HDTV version to check if it's the same as the 1080i broadcast?
Yes, there is also the HDTV 1080i European broadcast, as explained in the table ;-)
