DS9 on blu ray?

I don't see how doing that could be any worse than is doing the opposite (as many do): insisting that most people don't know about and/or don't care about DS9, therefore putting DS9 on BluRay will never be profitable, therefore putting DS9 on BluRay will never be done.
Maybe those negative affirmations are what will prevent it from happening? The law of attraction gurus to whom you are alluding would certainly say so.
And CBS employees who read fan feedback on boards like this will think so too. If this kind of negative consensus against putting DS9 on BluRay keeps up, then CBS employees who have the power to make DS9 on BluRay happen will be led to the opinion: "Even the fans of DS9 don't think we should ever put DS9 on BluRay. They must be right. Let's not."

welcome to hell, @Savage Dragon
Just another day in paradise.
They pay people to crunch numbers to figure out the profitability of any give project. They don't give two shits about this board.
If CBS were even willing to give one shit, it would be a major miracle. After all, CBS would have to pay for that shiny little number.
Even though it makes my eyes bleed to watch DS9 in standard def on a 4K TV, it's still the best show in the series. My wife and I joke that the tech to port DS9 into high def will eventually become so cheap relative to prevailing methods that some enterprising fan will take it upon herself to do it.
Not if they don't have access to the original film elements. There's only so much upscaling from a 480i video master can accomplish.
I still say that if we want DS9 blu ray to happen sooner, we fans should work to recreate all the space battles/space ship shots in HD CGI. That way all that work is done and it is one less hurdle for CBS. I have seen some nice fan-made CGI footage that would certainly fit the bill.
I really don't think it can work that way. They have contracts to honor, rules and union agreements to follow as well.
The DVDs honestly look like pure ass going through the series for the first time.
Sometimes, I think how great it is that they shot DS9 on film instead of videotape, before realizing that we may never see the benefits of it.

This.
I honestly think we'll see TOS on 4K UHD before we ever hear any rumblings of a DS9 remaster.
