I can’t believe that no one want to share 1080i with you, not even upload anywhere else, damn, it’s broadcast few times in whole USA. It was even available On Demand.

If this is true, then we don’t need to worry.

But still I can’t believe that no one want to share damn 1080i record over most famous Fans-World site. Shame, shame, shame.

What are you blabbering about? Someone else can try to cap it in 1080i like I did but if their cable company re-encodes (like almost all do), it will look just like mine does

Hey, I’m not telling you how to spend your time, lol, if you want to replace the HBO theatrical footage with the blu-ray footage, hardcode that to match the extra scenes, and upscale the HBO shots to 1080p, be my guest. I was just pointing out that, in the end, I’m not quite sure what it is that’s going to be gained through doing all that. Maybe it’ll look tons better and I’ll eat my words. :: shrug ::

If that’s the case, then why did you want it so badly in the first place?

You could easily see the difference by comparing screencaps of the 720p and the blu-ray
