Yes, DVB transmissions started around 2004 IIRC, and DVD recorders were available around that year...
The only way to have an high quality OT version - but I strongly doubt it was transmitted - is a D2MAC european satellite broadcast, and a S-VHS (or other high resolution tape recorder) or a MUSE japanese satellite broadcast (using an high def master) and a W-VHS recorder... well, dream is still free - for the moment!
