It's the compression the HD you watch at home is highly compressed HD. The worst thing to try and compress is noise it changes every frame and eats up bandwidth like a hungry little demon. Fast pans and subtle shadows will show where the math falls apart noise on top of this will be a challenge. HD and Blueray are good but the potential for better is there.
Think that uncompressed HD video takes 190 MBps and BlueRay has a max of 40 MBps. Unfortunately I think that at full 40 MBps. it would lead to an hour of video taking up about
150 Gigs of space.
