    This is why I own most of star trek on dvd. Cant take that away from me.

    Its also very difficult to find complete torrent for the series. Just too much content that nobody wants to host the wild file sizes

      I was so disappointed when the HD remasters stopped. I snapped up TOS, Animated, TNG, and all the movies on Blu-ray (replacing DVDs in the case of the movies and TNG) despite them being available on Netflix at the time. I was really looking forward to catching up with DS9 and Voyager the same way since I was only able to catch them sporadically when they were airing… but no, it seems these are doomed to remain in SD purgatory.

        There is a group has who completed an upscaling remaster of DS9. It’s very very well done (though could be better with better source material from the producers).

        They are working on Voyager now that DS9 is done. They’ve completed season 1 of voyager so far.

        Im a special case. I do retro gaming so I still have a classic tube TV. SD content looks amazing when viewed on a CRT. I had to housesit for Someone and brought my TNG set only to be shocked at how terrible it looked on their 55" LCD.

          I’ve also hung onto my old CRT (and consoles, players, etc.), I just haven’t had anywhere to hook it up for the past decade plus. My Blu-ray player does a pretty good job at upscaling, but you’re right - SD is going to look a lot better on the originally targeted hardware.
