I haven't watched the Blu-ray version yet if I recall correctly, the last time I watched this film was on D-VHS. I have watched Dr. No and a couple other Blu-ray Bonds and thought they were easily the best versions I have seen. I don't recall whether I recorded it off DirecTV or Comcast either. The low bitrate MPEG-2 satellite and cable recordings are not comparable to Blu-ray but some of them do look good. The 2005 recordings I made from DirecTV were better before DirecTV had to further compress HDTV to fit more channels. I don't know if I will ever get a Blu-ray recorder but instead just continue to use D-VHS and W-VHS.
