Engadget HD Podcast 052 - 10.03.2007
We're really getting back into the swing of things and look forward to cranking out a new episode every week. This week we go on for a relatively long time, but we don't spend it on the format war as only a few of those stories made the show. The big news this week was DirecTV's HD additions -- which for the most part disappoint -- but other providers are passing on the stretch-o-vision too. Finally we talk a little hardware, where we can't figure out why voice recognition is more sought after than a great contrast ratio.
