The only way to get HD versions of the episodes would be to re-render every single CGI and comp shot, and Warners will never, ever pay to have that done.
I just want to say one word to you, just one word.
Warner OWNS it, they have no desire in any way to do anything at all with the property. we are lucky as hell to get the DVD's. It was a bastard child as far as the executives were concerned and unless someone make them see that there is a 1.2Billion dollar profit in re-rendering the CGI they dont care. It will die in their vaults as an unloved redheaded step child.

Babylon 5, really got the shorter end of the stick, I am just happy that they were able to complete the series. Unlike Crusades. But With Star Trek:Deep Space 9 with a similar concept and close story line going on at the same time, it really saturated the market. DS9 also had the advantage of having a familiar universe so we didn't need as many slow episodes at the start trying to explain the players involved. For example: The Narn vs Centari conflict, Membari Religion, Human Membari War, Psi Corp... These c
Don't get me wrong, I loved B5, and today, imho it's just behind the newer BSG as best sci-fi of all time. That said, the first series wreaked of day-time soap opera in terms of the acting. It got better, but lets be serious here... Again, loved the show, but wish they could re-shoot the entire first season with better acting, and a slight bump in the dialog.
B5 was meant to be like a soap opera with long story arch. But I think the stories in the first season were just too serious. The few that I liked is when there was an assassin out to kill G'Kar, which actually gave us a glimpse of the real G'Kar and not just B&W villain they made him in the first season. And the episode where they went to Babylon 4. Mostly because I like Zath'ras
