Engadget HD Podcast 253 - 06.14.2011
We're back with another podcast recorded live with our UStream audience (thanks, all of you for stopping by) just in time to wrap up the last of the E3 news and the beginning of 2011 Cable Show news. We've got new boxes from TiVo (cue geek rant) and Motorola, a new HD console from Nintendo and finally Sony's pushing 3D with an LCD and projector that are both priced to move. There's also plenty of sports news to digest this week, with the first year in the books for ESPN 3D, BBC's first 3D broadcast, the Olympics stay on NBC and ESPN is still working on 1080p60. On the hardware front, Panasonic has a new chip to put in its TVs, Sony could be ready to make the best Bravias yet and InfiniTV 4 CableCARD tuners have officially gotten cheaper. Our last topic for the week is Netflix.com's redesign, so hit the play button and find out exactly what we think is wrong with it.
