Why do replays on ESPN from ~2006 look like they were filmed in 1996?

Any of you computer nerds/WAFB sports guys got a clue?

Is it that expensive to buy the storage space to keep them in HD quality? Doubtful.

I totally agree. I was watching a replay the other day and thought to myself that there is no way it looked like that live.

Because HD wasn't standard in '06 and you just don't remember how shitty it was or how good HD is now that you're so used to it 8 years later?

They probably weren't HD to begin with.

Why do replays of games from the 1970s look like they were filmed in the 1970s?

I am more confused about why every person that calls in sounds like they're using a cellular plan from fricking 20 years ago. Hotels I have stayed in have technology that makes it sound like the person is in the room with you. I have to imagine this is possible with TV and radio.

I've also noticed some of the replays are the janky Jefferson Pilot broadcast when I was positive it was aired live on ESPN in HD.
