XP Mode is ready, will be a free download on October 22

Oct 2nd 2009 7:48AM on Engadget

I'm currently running XP mode on Windows 7 RTM. It works really nicely! 16-bit games FTW!

The GefenTV Digital Audio Decoder -- an answer to a question we're afraid to ask

Jun 10th 2009 8:37AM on Engadget HD

Inherently this means that this little device contains a DAC. Depending on the quality of the DAC, this may be worth the price or not.

HDMI 1.4 officially detailed: Ethernet / Audio Return channels, 3D, 4K x 2K support

I'm not worried. People who are blowing up about this 5 different choices thing are overreacting. Most of the five different choices are a quality assurance standard and it'll most likely end up that the vendors that everyone uses will end up stocking one of the types of cable.

MPEG group working on AVC replacement for Ultra High Definition video of the future

I would be a lot happier for the rest of the encoding community to put all of this time, money and energy in doing what RED is 'supposedly' doing. I don't EVER see the need for that many pixels for a cinema application.

Computer/workstation practical applications are another thing all together. But that's not what the MOVING PICTURE Expert Group do.

I'll take the time machine, thanks.

I'm not sure whether to take this comment seriously or not...

Sony PlayTV already working (a little) in New Zealand

Apr 24th 2009 9:10AM on Engadget HD

If this is released in NZ within the next three months, I'll definitely spring for one of these over a Freeview|HD box.

LED-infused HDMI cables add some light to your home theater

Apr 4th 2009 2:24AM on Engadget

@Luke

I have had the un-joy of using a supposedly 1.1 spec HDMI cable that would not transmit 1080p without visible noise and artifacts.

There is such a thing as a bad HDMI cable which "meets the specification".

Panasonic updates firmware for discontinued DMP-BD35 BD player

Apr 2nd 2009 1:44AM on Engadget HD

Speak for yourself (your own country, that is.) The BD-35 is still on sale elsewhere in the world. Like here in New Zealand (and by this I mean Panasonic are still selling the units wholesale themselves). And that firmware update site is the global Japanese site. So it's not surprising that the global site has a firmware update for hardware that is still on sale, right?

Is right now the best time to buy a new HDTV?

I for one can't stand the motion interpolation provided by 100Hz or 120Hz (be you in the US or elsewhere). I would be more than happy to save several hundred dollars for a 50/60Hz only set.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
