Are you sure, five? To me, it's all relative. Maybe the HD broadcasts used some other digital processing to counteract the DNR that was native to the film as it arrived to them. Without knowing both sides of the story it's hard to say who's at fault.

It doesn't really work that way. If they received a copy that was DNR'd, they (networks) can't just add detail back where detail was lost. They would have to have access to a copy that was intact.

Why not? Ever hear of a "Sharpen" filter?
