That's only about a dozen a.b5.uk posts away at this rate. Frank

That's only about a dozen a.b5.uk >posts away at this rate. Funny. That's about the rate at which I meet people in the real world who have even a vague recollection of B5.. And yes, I do meet a fair number of people in the real world :D Luckily I work with a few of folks that are nearly as geeky about it as I am, some have even read some of the books. And some of the youngsters here have watched the whole show - twice - in recent time, and keeps quoting from it. Heck, even my gf has been known to quote G'Kar and Ivanova. My bonus kid quotes Kosh several times a year, un-prompted. I must have done well. -- http://floppy.museum ~ love over gold ~

Got all 5 seasons onto a USB stick so I could plug them into the telly. But they looked odd. Maybe I used too much compression. Frank

Or maybe your TV is just too big - I was shocked to see how bad the DVD version looked when playing it on my 65". The re-mastered version that showed up a few years ago is not only much, much better - it is also in the original 4:3 so you don't get the absolutely messed-up cropping they had to do to any scene with CGI in them..
