Just to clarify - down converted or not, if someone\'s got an HD rip already (which might be Xvid on their computer in nearly equal quality, or it might be DVD-R depending on what that person prefers), do you think it will make any difference at all to if they would watch it when broadcast? Or do you think it simply would not be a factor? Since we\'d actually be watching it in HD when it\'s broadcast on HDnet, and not an HD downconvert, I think the answer is obvious.
