TRON In HD On TV Wednesday Night!! Is This The Newly Refreshed Version We've Been Hearing About??

Merrick again... Disney's TRON LEGACY Facebook page is running a countdown to the film's trailer debut in theaters - consisting of pics of Flynn's son approaching Flynn's arcade, now a lonely edifice in a desolate part of town. You can find the images...which will progress as the trailer nears...HERE.





Merrick here...
There's been a lot of talk about the original TRON being (finally) issued on Blu-Ray during the ramp-up to TRON LEGACY's December release. Yesterday, we learned that TRON overlord Steven Lisberger had been overheard discussing tweaks being made to the original TRON for said issuance (details HERE). Raschied sent me a note last night - he discovered that TRON will premiere in High Definition on HD Net tomorrow night. While we have no knowledge that this is the freshly caressed version Lisberger was talking about over the weekend, this could well be the case as HD Net (and HD Net movies in particular) have a habit of "revealing" HD iterations of films before they're actually available on disc.
Just FYI – TRON is listed on HDNET for this Wednesday evening. This has to be a new transfer, as there wasn’t an HD master of the movie before. Could this be the new, re-color-timed version that Lisberger was overheard talking about? Thanks, “Raschied”
Okay, here's where I get super-mega-unapologetically pathetic: Time Warner recently pulled HD Net and HD Net Moves from its service - leaving me with no access to either network. And...I very excitedly, desperately wanna see if this is the version Lisberger was discussing...to see what it looks like if it is the newly color-timed version, etc. Would anyone be able to help me make this happen - in a way that isn't terribly troublesome of inconvenient to themselves? I'm not sure how this works in terms of DVRs and whatnot, but...the sniveling Geek in me had to ask. I'm sure Harry and the gang wouldn't mind taking a look as well. If this is doable, DROP ME A LINE. You can find HD Net's listing HERE. TRON's scheduled for Wednesday evening @ 9pm Eastern.
