No, it's not the same as the DVDs from before, it's actually lower
quality since you get the raw scans in the scenes that have been
upgraded.  (This was my sole complaint about the Blu-rays.)  But I
digress.

What nonsense.  If it is exactly the same, why download it again at
all?  Apparently you wanted it, but have rationalized not going down
to the store and paying for it.

Don't whine to me about the DVD sets.  When I bought my first DVD
player I started collecting the ORIGINAL DVD releases of TOS as they
were being released -- $15 for a two-episode disc x 40, all the way
through!  I skipped on the boxed sets when they came out and didn't
buy again until the Blu-rays.  The Blu-rays are perfect for me and the
DVDs are a nice bit in the collection and probably the best way to
view the original cuts.
