There are excellent technically-minded people who know about it. That I can say. But that's all!

It's great footage! I'm sure a nice little sequence could be compiled from this to represent the song's appearance on the show. It would definitely need to be done in full quality though (with no burnt in time-code!) for it to be worthwhile. I wish footage like this could be utilised by someone like Network on, say, a vintage pop compilation, featuring orphaned footage from otherwise non-existing shows that couldn't be used in another way.

I expect the collectors' market will do it first.
For once, I can speak with a reasonable knowledge here. Whilst not a TV show, Let It Be has been restored by Apple - prior to the release of Anthology in the mid-90's. Magical Mystery Tour (produced for TV) has also had the same happen during the same period. MMT has also been made ready for a re-release. Neither have appeared officially.
There is regular talk of the 'promo films' of the Beatles appearing officially, and similar no release has been forthcoming.
Some of this is down to legal obstacles, and some to the necessary agreement of the four parties representing the individual Beatles. Then, there is also the noted disagreement in regard to various royalties forthcoming from sales (legal disputes between Apple and other parties are well-documented).
While there have been many Beatles releases over the years on video/DVD, Anthology excepted, no Apple-sanctioned UK-originating release has occurred for some while. (The UA films and the Ed Sullivan and USA 1964 releases do not cover UK TV shows with music footage).
Forum members will also note that the majority of UK legal/semi-legal issues of UK Beatles video footage DO NOT FEATURE complete songs.
I think that Apple would have to embark on a major project of issuing TV appearances before they even considered this being released in a viewable form. And any such release would likely not involve Network, as good as they are.
A shame.
On the positive side, solo videos by all four Fabs HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, SO THE INTEREST IN TV HISTORY IS THERE.

As an example of how good the quality of the picture from old Phillips recorder was my copies of 'Let It Be' and 'The Beatles at Shea Stadium' were both taken from the BBC broadcasts in 1979 and they still look superier in quality to anything I've seen bootlegged.

When I worked at TVi in Wardour Street between 1989 and 1992, I remember the 'Shea Stadium' reels coming for a re-transfer. They asked for a real proper job on it. I remember handling the subsequent tapes from the transfer sessions, but for the life of me can't remember what format they were on, perhaps D3?? Defintely not digi-Beta though.

On the audio side of things (regarding Shea), what is not well-known is that the audio recording suffered drop out, technical flaws and also mistakes by the Fabs when originally recorded. So SOME of the audio was re-recorded by the Beatles at CTS Studios in January 1966.

As for Let It Be I can certainly see why that project remains in limbo. I think there's probably a desire from the two remaining Beatles as well as Yoko/Olivia to stop picking at that particular scab. As Paul was the drivng force behind Let It Be Naked I would think he would also like to correct the thirty year misconception that he played a part in George quitting the band which has been endlessly repeated in many a biography.
