My 9 year old took over the DVR this morning.... SW: Ep 3. I must say, it looks darn good in HD. I wish I had dfergie's 70" screen to watch it on... 
watch some football after skiing, DVR Surface, Battlestar Galactica Mini-Series (both on UHD), and Munich, on HBO.
A guide search shows Close Encounters-Special Ed. is on HDnet Movies today 1/7 6:45 am and on Saturday 1/13 at 7:05pm. I am in the Pacific time zone.
Anyone know what might be in the Special Ed. that wouldn't be in the regular one?
According to SciFi Movie Page:
In 1980 Steven Spielberg re-edited his original Close Encounters of the Third Kind dropping several smaller scenes and adding other sequences.
The differences between the various versions are too numerous to go into in full detail - especially considering that for network screenings of the movie all existing footage was used!
In the end the film is tighter in the midsection, but longer towards the end. In fact, the final scenes reveal a lot more of the interior alien mothership and while those new scenes are spectacular (the new effects were designed by the underground artist Ron Cobb - but no credit is given) they are redundant to a degree and tends to drag.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind-Special Edition, Star Wars Episode I, Desperate Housewives and Grease (for the wife)
EDIT: I balked at recording the last one (Grease), but my wife said "Its ok if I have one or two hours of that DVR." So, to keep the peace, I agreed.
