Engadget HD Podcast 242 - 03.22.2011
This week we have another special guest, Kris Brown of the 3DTV Working Group and Warner Home Video specifically on to talk all things 3D TVs, Blu-ray 3D, the challenges faced by the new format and what the immediate future holds. After that we've got a bit more 3D talk with a couple of ESPN 3D notes and a look at Samsung's rollout of its latest HDTVs and Blu-ray players. After 3D, social media and connected TV platforms are the next big things so there's plenty of Boxee, Twitter, iPad, Google TV and Netflix news from last week to sort through. Finally, we'll take a look at a recent update for the Virgin Media TiVo, what box is best for playing MKVs and Mitsubishi's exit from the LCD TV game.
Note: We'd like to apologize ahead of time, we had a few issues with the audio recordings this week so please bear with us.
