I finally have seen the Ep1 file that was uploaded to tehparadox. Perhaps this has been mentioned somewhere and I'm just not seeing it, but the quality of the capture of SW, ESTB far outweigh the capture of TPM. Or at least the final products look a heck of a lot better. Perhaps someone re-encoded what's up on tehparadox? It's all soft and slightly blurry. There's a huge loss of detail for an HD. The SW capture looked amazingly crisp, as did ESTB...but TPM just looks terrible in comparison. It looks more like a DVD presentation rather than HD.

Keep in mind though I'm watching this from a 1080p projector on a 100+ screen. Adywan, does this sound like a re-encoding issue that's caused a loss of detail? or was this an inferior broadcast capture to begin with?

Can someone confirm what I'm seeing? It can't be my equipment.

no sorry its all down to the original HD broadcasts of TPM i rememember watching the marathon and being dissapointed with tpm's original airing it is the worst looking of the bunch and will need some serious attention for its eventual blu release if they release it as is the blu community will be in an uproar! lol ady has done amazing work on tpm the colour correction is superb and is night and day when compared to the other 1080p version i have (iirc it was a HV version) the overall quality is improved too less digital noise etc i watched it on a 130" screen and it was the best tpm presentation i have seen since 1999! :)
