I saw a BD version of the Sopranos yesterday and wondered if the originals were really shot in 1080p. Seems especially unlikely for the early seasons. If not, then what's that point? I can upscale things just fine with my current TV/DVD player; why pay extra for more pixels that didn't exist in the original to begin with?
Movies are a different story, obviously, but are they really creating new 1080p versions of movies from the original negatives, or just rescaling existing digital content? Again, if it's just the latter, I'll let my hardware handle that for free.
