Serious question. Why is modern content still being released in SD in 2024? You haven't been able to buy an SD only TV for probably 15 years. I'd imagine 99.9% of homes have HD capability. How has it not just been completely deprecated at this point?

Serious question. Why is modern content still being released in SD in 2024? You haven't been able to buy an SD only TV for probably 15 years. I'd imagine 99.9% of homes have HD capability. How has it not just been completely deprecated at this point?

We're never told stuff like this, so we have to guess. After looking at K's releases for some time, I've developed theories on a number of these things...

First, there's no value in any modern PBS stuff being added to K in SD. These shows were broadcast over the air in HD, and other digital stores offer them in HD and often for less money. While there may be a debate about an HD disc/download vs. 4k stream, there's no such debate about SD vs. HD. It's HD hands down. So, no one should buy these, and they just make the store look bad for having subpar releases.

Then why would K do this?

It has to be the contract. K wants access to PBS. K wants Downton Abbey, All Creatures Great & Small, Mr. Selfridge, Poldark, Sandition, and the occasional documentary. However, to keep their contract with PBS, K has to license a set number of titles annually. Most shows don't generate sufficient sales on K to warrant their licensing fees, so K hits their minimum spend in SD.

Absolute pure rank speculation. But, it's the only thing that makes sense to me.

 

[MikeKobb]

It's not an unreasonable guess, but that's not it. I would like to explain in detail, but unfortunately I'm not able to at this time. We would like to have more of this content in HD and we continue to work towards that.

Honestly, hearing anything from you guys on stuff like this is invaluable. Thank you.

My speculation is it’s prob some internal politics/processes on the PBS side. The PBS content on Kaleidescape in HD vs SD seems to match exactly what PBS is releasing on Blu-ray vs DVD only. For whatever reason, I’m thinking PBS isn’t willing to provide mezzanine files to Kaleidescape to allow them to do their own encodes, so rather than using low-bit rate HD encodes that PBS may be providing to other services, K is using the SD encodes for the DVDs that PBS provides, as well as offering their high bit-rate HD encodes originally meant for blu-rays, when available.

Bologna...the PBS titles should be at no cost to us at any resolution since it is already paid for through private donations, government subsidies, and viewers like you
