Anyone catch the start of this series last night? The footage is really amazing, especially in HD.

I saw it. Great camera work and the overall scenery is amazing. I don't have an HD yet, but I could tell that's what it's made for.

I saw the first hour and it was really cool. The footage of the great white jumping out of the water was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I hope they put the rest of the shows On Demand because I would love to check them out.
Yeah that shark coming completely out of the water in super slo-mo was crazy

Yeah, they had three episodes starting at 8 last night. I think it's an 11 part series and they'll probably show repeats of it constantly because of how much money they put into it.

mvgroup.org (requires registering) has all the imax movies/discovery/national geographic/BBC/etc documentaries in HD for download. the imax stuff in HD is crazy.

I recorded it on the DVR but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I am looking forward to it though.
Side note, anyone that does not have a TIVO or DVR is really missing out. It's the best thing I have ever gotten. I never miss a South Park or a Family Guy, or anything I want to see.

I missed the show last night but they will show it over and over again. Was the Great White jumping out of the water chasing a fake seal that they tow behind a boat? I've seen that footage on another show and it is really amazing footage.
