Chris Ryan's Strike Back

Does anyone know any of the specifications on this release?

The only other website I've found listing this release, is cinemasquid.com, but they have no data on this either:

Thank you! The other source shows DTS-HD-MA, but you are positive the it actually is DTS-HD-HR? It's not just the cover that says HR when it in fact is MA? I've never actually seen a release with this audio format.

I also find it strange that a new large budget production like this has stereo only track.

Yes, it is HR not MA, and yes it is stereo.
I have attached an image of the back cover.

You're welcome. The cover is wrong. The disc is also region-free.

Thank you very much for answering all these questions! I can only think of one more thing I want to know: Do you know the framerate it was filmed in and what the framerate is on the BD?

I recently picked up this great show, and I'm glad to see they have renewed it for a second series. It reminded a little of a mixture of 24 and Spooks, and it had great cinematography too. I hope we see a lot more British miniseries on Blu-ray

Hopefully series 2 will get released!

Does anyone know what frame rate it was filmed in, and what field rate the BD video is presented in?

Amazon UK has Series 1 (mentioned above) and the Series 1 & 2 combo release... Anyone have a good review on the combo?

MissDisneyisMagical · 12-17-2011, 08:27 PM

omg im so excited for this! i was so excited to watch this on sunday nights am hoping for this for christmas!

zeropcs · 12-22-2011, 07:05 PM

Went a head and ordered...

For anyone in the US planning on picking this up be aware that it is region free; however it is 1080i/50 and certain US players will not convert it to 1080i/60 so there will be some player incompatibility. My PS3 wouldn't touch this, neither would a Panasonic 210... I grabbed a Samsung 6500 from Best Buy and it played it beautifully. So do a little research before you buy this set if you are in the US.

Does anyone know why there is no BD release for the 3rd season (Vengeance) announced so far?
