Engadget HD Podcast 050 - 09.18.2007
This week's show is coming to you a little early. We rescheduled, and you guys deserve the show earlier rather than later. Even with a day less of news and no format war, there's still plenty of good stuff to talk about. Toshiba got their 24p upgrades out to the field, and the studios are still wrestling with how to deal with new formats. In programming news, we talk about how HD content either get to your home or don't, which involves national broadcast, regional distribution, and even the FCC. We close up by calling out DirecTV and CNBC HD for their "over promise, under deliver" approaches.
