What I meant above, for navigation, is that you must use the joystick controls to *find* your options. The menu is not like other HD DVD menus out there. Perhaps I'm just slow, but I didn't realize at first how to change episodes or access audio etc.
Do to the time this show was made, you will notice the somewhat heavy handed photography. Also, close-ups of women (except Sally Kellerman) will be soft and fuzzy. Believe it or not, this is the first time I noticed that Uhura actually has the shortest skirt in the show-she's even "cheeky" at times. :-)
All in all, I'm pretty happy with this set. It seems to be a labor of love, and the improvements don't really change the character of the show. It looks and feels like Star Trek with a bigger budget.
enjoy,
Jack

EDIT: This is a case where I actually prefer the stereo soundtrack, even though it is Lossy DD+. It seems to "fit" better.
