Engadget HD Podcast 207 - 08.03.2010
We're back to our normal roster this week and get things started with plenty of Blu-ray news including Redbox's announcement, what Disney has in store next, the current state of the market and the latest hardware from Toshiba, RCA and Panasonic. Up next we have plenty of 3D updates, from ESPN's X Games and college football plans to what's next for Sky 3D. Of course, as sports lovers, we can't see ESPN actually being yanked from Bright House or Time Warner but we still covered their dispute before addressing the NFL's preseason streaming offer and whether or not anyone still actually goes to games. Bringing up the tail end this week is an update on Discovery's Shark Week festivities, the new Monsoon Vulkano, the death of tru2way at retail and an in-depth look at how to get the most out of ShowAnalyzer for your Media Center PC.
