All previous Trek series on one network!
- Thread starter The Old Mixer
- Start date
They're all still there, including TAS.
A co worker told me about a network that is showing all the Star Trek series. Heroes and Icons. http://www.heroesandiconstv.com/shows/
you can see all the shows on this station, including all 5 Star Trek series.
This goes beyond ME TV which only shows Star Trek TOS on Sat evenings.

Merged into the existing thread on the topic.
Haven't been catching much this week because of the DNC.
VGR on in the background...the Kazon look even worse than I remembered!
I know another one.

People have talked about this in further technical detail elsewhere on this forum (and I invite them to explain the process again). But basically the problem with Blu-ray remasters of DS9 is that they would have to redo all of the special effects from scratch. That would be a very expensive and time-consuming process, and apparently the TNG blu-ray remasters didn't sell all that well. So the incentive for CBS from a business perspective just isn't there. Unless people start buying the TNG blu-ray box sets, CBS doesn't have much to gain by giving DS9 or VOY the same treatment. That's not me saying "kowtow to your corporate masters," that's just the reality.
^ that's not true! it was thought to be so for years - the original effects were lost, but I just saw an article from one of the original creators of ds9 and he said he still has all of the work he did on ds9 on his computer. he even upscaled one frame of it (in no time) just to prove how easy it was!
Link please.
And even if what you're saying is true (and I would like to see where you're getting this), that still doesn't change the fact that sales of the TNG blu-ray remaster are poor, so CBS doesn't have a financial incentive to do a DS9 blu-ray remaster right now.
found it by googling "star trek deep space nine creator still has cgi."

I believe I saw it on this forum first, like last week? anyway, damn, google is amazing.
Well, let me tell you how succulent this crow tastes.
Must say, I was very skeptical at first to hear that the DS9 assets were still out there, but this is pretty convincing and authoritative. Thank you for sharing. I think the only reason CBS won't do it, at this point, is just because they don't think it'll make enough money. Such a shame. There's a veritable army of DS9 fans online who would eat up a blu-ray complete series of DS9. Even Voyager.
Well, it's certainly news to me. Like I said, I think the only reason CBS isn't doing it right now is that they don't think they can make enough money off it to justify the expense, even at a lower cost with the assets. TNG, and I believe TOS, didn't have very high sales for their blu-ray collections. No demand, no supply, etc.
Well, I'd say TOS sold moderately well or else they would have had no reason to do TNG. But there's more than just the effects work that has to be done for a remaster. They have to go to the salt mines, locate all the film elements, and essentially due all the post-production work again. Not a simple or cheap process.
Now it's all the series are coming to the same network. Starting on September 4th, H & I will start running TAS.
