Remasters and Digital Copies

[seannyd]

So I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to how remasters typically work on digital copies? The reason I ask is because someone was giving away Spartacus from their remastered Blu-Ray copy. I currently have Spartacus in my UV collection, but haven't yet taken a look to see if it's the remastered version or the original version.

But then you have things like Star Trek: TNG on Netflix where they're literally fixing mistakes that they didn't feel strongly enough about to issue a disc recall and uploading the fixed version back to Netflix for people to stream - almost making it a living platform where fixes can be implemented as they're found.

I guess my question is whether or not anyone has seen digital copies they've owned be automatically updated to whatever transfer is currently being pressed on disc. Would stuff like Spartacus be updated? Or would they just stick to the old transfer, expecting that people who really want to see the better quality will just go buy the disc?
