The Engadget Show returns February 27th with Boxee's Avner Ronen, Windows Phone 7 Series, and more!

If you're a fan of entertainment of the digital variety, you'd be a fool to miss the next live taping of The Engadget Show. We'll be sitting down with Avner Ronen, creator and CEO of Boxee and taking a look at the forthcoming (and very anticipated) Boxee Box. We'll also be discussing Avner's strategy for taking on the networks and cable providers, and the best methods of defending oneself from Jeff Zucker. Not only that, but we'll have a Windows Phone 7 Series device on hand for a demo and discussion, plus the regular kind of Engadget Show zaniness you've come to know and love. You can also expect good clean music from Nullsleep, and stunning visuals from Outpt and Paris. If you miss this one, you'll basically have zero good stories to tell your grand children.

The Show is sponsored by Sprint, and will take place at the Times Center, part of The New York Times Building in the heart of New York City at 41st St. between 7th and 8th Avenues (see map after the break). Tickets are -- as always -- free to anyone who would like to attend, but seating is limited, and tickets will be first come, first served... so get there early! Here's all the info you need:

• There is no admission fee -- tickets are completely free
• The event is all ages
• Ticketing will begin at the Times Center at 2:30PM on Saturday, doors will open for seating at 4:30PM, and the show begins at 5PM
• You cannot collect tickets for friends or family -- anyone who would like to come must be present to get a ticket
• Seating capacity in the Times Center is about 340, and once we're full, we're full
• The venue is located at 41st St. between 7th and 8th Avenues in New York City (map after the break)
• The show length is around an hour

If you're a member of the media who wishes to attend, please contact us at: engadgetshowmedia [at] engadget [dot] com, and we'll try to accommodate you. All other non-media questions can be sent to: engadgetshow [at] engadget [dot] com.

Finaly!!!

[aubreyq Posted Feb 16th 2010 6:47PM]

@Mustangsamjr Yay! I need my fix!

[Jonathan K Posted Feb 16th 2010 7:49PM]

@Mustangsamjr I know... I was thinking that they had forgot about it...

[OCEAN CLAK Posted Feb 16th 2010 9:07PM]

@Mustangsamjr

That map looks complicated with all those rectangular roads, very different to uk maps

[KLegSY Posted Feb 17th 2010 5:23AM]

@OCEAN CLAK they are different to UK maps but not confusing . if you actually looked at it streets run horizontal and avenues run vertical .

[TheSunman89 Posted Feb 16th 2010 5:08PM]

cool!!

[tkrow21 Posted Feb 16th 2010 5:16PM]

Looking forward to this, but the Zune link doesn't work. :(

[Chad Mumm Posted Feb 16th 2010 5:29PM]

@tkrow21 Has anyone else had problems with the Zune feed? We'll look into it...

[tkrow21 Posted Feb 16th 2010 7:46PM]

@Chad Mumm I mean that the actual link loads up a page that finds no results.

[pjay228 Posted Feb 16th 2010 8:06PM]

@Chad Mumm

yeah, it shows a blank list. it looks as though it's searching for nothing.
i can find the show when searching "engadget", though

[Chad Mumm Posted Feb 17th 2010 9:37AM]

@tkrow21 Link is fixed! Thanks for the heads-up!

[pennyfan87 Posted Feb 16th 2010 5:18PM]

sunday shows please

[ndrwme Posted Feb 16th 2010 7:26PM]

@pennyfan87 Go to church.

[AlienSix Posted Feb 16th 2010 5:18PM]

"Awes!"

[Kirtay Posted Feb 16th 2010 5:19PM]

Great stuff!
Do we get a hands-on video of a Windows Phone 7 Series that's not the show?
Although the show is great too.

And Avner! That's *gotta* be interesting.

Engadget, whoo!

[darth camel Posted Feb 16th 2010 5:24PM]

Livestream please!!

[Dking7 Posted Feb 16th 2010 6:04PM]

@darth camel +1, or release the video within 24 hours!

[ai4281 Posted Feb 16th 2010 6:08PM]

@Dking7 Both are good ideas. Live stream AND fast uploads please!

[Chad Mumm Posted Feb 17th 2010 11:36AM]

@darth camel Ask and ye shall receive...

[Sharuk Posted Feb 16th 2010 5:28PM]

Very close to where I work, is this usually where the show is held?

[Chad Mumm Posted Feb 16th 2010 5:32PM]

@Sharuk We did the last one at TheTimesCenter as well http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/the-engadget-show-005-googles-erick-tseng-ces-wrap-up-widi/, and I gotta say, it's a pretty fun space to shoot.

[senormatt Posted Feb 16th 2010 5:36PM]

you'd think with Sprint sponsoring Engadget all the time they would at least be aware their phone lineup is sucky compared to Verizon and Tmobile.

[N900 Posted Feb 16th 2010 5:39PM]

Yay, I love zaniness!

[Kurto2021 Posted Feb 16th 2010 5:56PM]

hopefully we get some info on the boxee box....like release dates

[FORDY Posted Feb 16th 2010 6:10PM]

There'll be another audio podcast before the 27th, right?

[lie07 Posted Feb 16th 2010 6:22PM]

looking forward to this...

[Wowzers Posted Feb 16th 2010 6:27PM]

Will Engadget be covering this event?

[ndrwme Posted Feb 16th 2010 7:28PM]

@Wowzers No, they've been banned for shutting down all the TVs.

[green Posted Feb 16th 2010 6:37PM]

Please make a bittorrent download available for the HD video version.

[JS Posted Feb 16th 2010 6:46PM]

About the Windows Phone .. can you please please not forget to check this:

1. What happens to videos taken on the phone? Does it go in with pictures or with music&videos (or both). If it doesn't go in with pictures, that's a bit annoying because I may have both pictures and videos taken at events and wanna see them together in one place.

2. Is there a weather app? Does or can the front screen display weather and/or other info? What utility apps like notepad, calculator come with it?

Anyway .. I am mainly interested in the answer to #1.

[damian Posted Feb 16th 2010 7:28PM]

Whoa, how come I never knew about the engadget show. I'll defintely be there.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 16th 2010 8:42PM]

nice!

[ericg1840 Posted Feb 16th 2010 8:47PM]

Can't wait about time

[FLASHINC Posted Feb 17th 2010 12:57AM]

Well I'd love be there but I can't because I live in uk England.I'll be waitin for the video upload on the engadget iPhone app.peace engadget

[S4Rs Posted Feb 17th 2010 9:42AM]

Can you please ask Avner Ronen what there process is as far as building their product on top of XMBC. Like when XMBC releases updates to their source, how does that fit into Boxees updates if at all? And why does Boxee continue to push locally stored media into its basement when its built on top of XMBC which is arguably the greatest local media playback software every invented for use in the living room with a remote control?

[Masterface7 Posted Feb 17th 2010 9:42AM]

When is Topolsky gonna go on Jimmy Fallon with a Windows Phone 7 Series?

[Plazmic Flame Posted Feb 17th 2010 8:18PM]

Can't wait! I'm always sad though when I see a few empty seats...ffs, wish I could be there live!

[maniii Posted Feb 26th 2010 4:31PM]

[maniii Posted Feb 26th 2010 5:12PM]
