Engadget HD Podcast 254 - 06.21.2011
All good things must change or come to an end, including SageTV post-Google buyout, ReplayTV, FrameChannel and our daily HDTV Listings post (!?). Change is also bringing new mobile apps for the TiVo Premiere and plenty of changes for the DVRs provided by cable companies like Comcast and Time Warner. Even with all of that action, no one had a busier weekend than Netflix so we check in with the latest news there before reporting on the latest HDBaseT developments, a new projector on the way from Panasonic and ESPN 3D's plans for the summer.
