I finished downloading this now. Thanks a billion, DFNYC! I burned both discs to BD and printed cover art. So far, I've watched Episode 1. Excellent quality I must say, far better than my recording on my DVR; of course, the lack of commercials is great.
I noticed some occasional, non-bothersome digital artifacts; I assume this is a side effect of the capture. It manifests as slight distortions (i.e. an odd row of pixels lower section of the image). It certainly doesn't seem like a bad burn to me. In any case, it doesn't bother me one bit. Just thought I should point it out.
Also, I forgot. Where did the replacement for the missing section of your recording come from?
