Default 'Nature' (PBS Series) -- pre-release buzz

Newcomer Questar has announced it is jumping into Blu-ray with four volumes of the popular PBS series 'Nature':

Each volume contains two similary-themed episodes spread over a BD-25 single-layer disc.

Tech specs are 1080p video and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround audio. There are no announced extras.

Street date is May 20, and retail $24.95 a pop.

Weak sound... The only sort-of upgrades from the broadcasts are (hopefully) higher bitrates plus non-interlaced video.

Is it MPEG2 like the broadcasts as well?

Anyone know if Questar is going to be a region free distributor?
