Oh, I just found the answer myself:
Each movie is spread across two Blu-ray discs and has a 6.1 DTS-HD MA soundtrack, whileFellowship of the Ring has been treated to a remastering from the original 2K digital files.
So they are all but admitting the bad transfer on fellowship BD disc, even though they had a couple highly respected review sites play apologist since they got the release from the studio early and for free.
That the HDTV broadcast 720P rip floating around on the net had less dvnr speaks volumes about their poor quality release.
