Engadget HD Podcast 311 - 08.17.2012
After a slight... week long delay we finally have your new episode of the Engadget HD Podcast. If you've been waiting for a Fantasy Football update, existing league members should have invites in their inboxes and our pick-em will launch soon. In actual HD news however, DirecTV has finally experienced a loss of customers, perhaps the cable companies can help it deal with the disappointment. For the remaining subscribers however, the iPad app has some updates, while Cablevision is delivering channels to the Kindle Fire. We also take a peek at Verizon's FiOS Companion tablet and wonder if your TV provider should be in the tablet business, as well as recap the last few weeks of Olympics madness.
