Engadget HD Podcast 329 - 12.18.2012
Flashy new logo, same HD news. We've finally put out our review of Ceton's Echo Windows Media Center Extender and... oh, wait, what's that? There's already an update available in beta for an issue with 1080i video playback, so listen in to find out why this is the overall best Media Center extender available. Also, there's finally official details about Redbox Instant -- for $9 a month users get kiosk Blu-ray rentals and streaming. Press play to get the full scoop on that and the rest of the week's news including Kaleidescape, Amazon and (of course) Apple HDTV rumors.
