I beg to differ. If this is ripped at say 1500kbps it will have ALOT of macroblocking, even worse that movies bought from iTunes.
iTunes tv-series are usually encoded around 640x480 @ 1500kbps (H.264)
These will apparently be encoded around 960x720 @ MAX 2000kbps
I'm guessing they will look sharper than ones of iTunes (due to increased resolution) but have more artifacts and be more blocky.
When i rip my DVDs to be viewed on AppleTV i rip 720x576 (anamorphic) @ 3000bps (H.264) and I for one can't tell it apart from the original DVD
