Hi, nice post you have here. Generous offer. What I've really been looking for is an invite to an HDTV tracker. What I really mean by HDTV tracker is a site that has raw uncompressed HDTV files, not just compressed mkv rips. A lot of these kinds of files are widely available, but not on any trackers that I know of. They are out there though, so I know there are private trackers that have them too. If someone wants to know why that's what I'm looking for, I can explain, but there are many legitimate reasons why. I can also provide ratioproofs and speedtests, just let me know. And I'd be happy to answer any other questions as well. Thanks in advance for any possible consideration or information.
Furthermore, if anyone can simply tell me some trackers they know of that definitely have uncompressed HDTV content, I would really appreciate that as well, and then I can keep an eye out on my own in the future. The only one I know of for sure is hdbits.org, and I'm not holding my breath for that one. So any other general information would be appreciated as well. Thanks.

Most of the full Blurays or remuxes are 50%, 75% or even full free leech on most of the better trackers. While their size demands a lot of storage, seeding back usually isn't that much of a problem, especially on the larger trackers.
I'd love to have a TT invite I'm trancholic and I can't get every thing I need easy so having an account there will make my life full of beats and I'll live happy for the rest of my life !!! plz plz plz help me !!
I'm not so-much talking about bluray, but HDTV content in specific. I even used that term repeatedly I guess for a reason, but I can see how it's not clear - I even had a sentence about bluray rips that I was going to say but I didn't want my post to be too wordy or presumptious.
For what it's worth, I capture some HDTV stuff myself and have been doing so for a few years, and have had/collected my first uncompressed hdtv files as far back as 2005. I could (and would) even upload HDTV content myself, however with many trackers, normal users aren't allowed to upload, and I can see rules being even more strict when it comes to HD stuff, so that point is probably moot. There are a very large number of uncompressed HDTV 'releases' out there, so my guess is there are torrent sites that have some of them too. I'm not too picky as of yet, any tracker that has that kind of content at all would be really interesting to me, even if it's not in large numbers. If not, even some names of decent ones would be a great point in the right direction. I took a look at the above link and will keep those sites in mind, thanks. I must say the post was quite informative and in-depth, if only there was a similar post that was just as comprehensive for HDTV content. Thanks a lot for the replies, cheers.

Every kind of 'HDTV' content is compressed. Lossy compression algorithms like h.264, VC-1 or MPEG2 are used to compress the raw data. When you explicitly talked about 'uncompressed' HD content, me and others in this thread thought of full Bluray rips, releases that are of the highest possible quality standard for consumers these days. To be frank, HDTV content looks crap in comparison, since much lower bitrates are used. HDTV rips look even worse than strongly compressed Bluray encodes, 1080p or 720p re-encodes of the original Bluray streams using the free x264 encoder. That's why most trackers only allow HDTV rips of movies if there is no Bluray rip existing yet. And even for TV shows, HDTV rips are slowly being replaced by WEB-DL content that is of higher quality.
HDTV rips still have their place, of course, e.g. for rare movies, documentaries, shows etc. that will likely never be released on Bluray or available as Web-DL. But that's a niche. Those Chinese trackers I listed in my post do have a lot of HDTV content, too. Other good sources for HDTV rips are HD-Torrents and Bit-HDTV.
