If the aim was 2023, the merger talk started then, it's very likely that the 2024 freeze, lines up with this.
The Home video department got triaged for a few months.
If 2028 is the new target, it might show up then, but they may already have the remaster in the bag.
 
But wait there is more.


Because...welcome to hell, that's why.

2022 should have had a lone Oscar category for worst television series ever made, and it should have went to "Starhunter Redux".

"As mentioned in the main portion of the review, there was a TON of changes to the original mastre for the show. The series was original shot using 16mm film (which is a very gritty source), framed in 4x3, and the CGI was finsihed on tape. Well, they went back to the original 16mm elements, reframed it for 16x9 like they originally wanted, and redid over 4,000 CGI shots to get it looking better. The end result is actually quite solid, with some give and take. The series will never look glossy and shiny due to the 16mm source (VERY gritty), but the series is miles (and I mean miles) better than the DVDs. There’s some smearing, green and purple artifacting in low light scenarios, and general grim look of the show, but it’s fairly well detailed and close ups can be quite revealing. Simply put, it’s an old low budget show that got a 4K remaster. It will never be something super amazing, but they did a good job getting it to look this good."

...

Even Canada has more pride in something terrible, than Paramount has in anything good.

That's right, Starhunter Redux/2300, an abomination from the depths of the scifi channel got all new CG, and a rescan within the last 5 years, and a bluray release via Shout Factory!.
For when you have a late night craving for a Television Program that rivals any Neil Breen production.

...another reason I refuse to accept DS9 and Voyager are too expensive.
This exists, and was remastered before DS9 and Voyager, with a rescan of it's original camera element.
DS9 and Voyager remain in SD Hell, but Starhunter Redux?
Starhunter Redux got a 4k remaster.
