Cincinnati's CET moving to 24-hour HD broadcast {Engadget HD}
Dec 11th 2007 9:54AM WOSU in Columbus, OH has had an 24 HD tier for at least a year now. There have definitely been some quality shows to watch too.
I am surprised to see it is only available via cable. WOSU has had their HD OtA since inception.

HDTV Listings for October 7, 2007 {Engadget HD}
Nov 7th 2007 7:46PM It is like we have taken a terrible trip back in time.
The ironic part is with all the reruns because of the strike we might very well be watching episodes that were run on October 7th!
90,000 HD DVD players sold in one weekend {Engadget HD}

I don't think you fully understand how retail works. The stores don't necessarily "buy" every item from the manufacturer before it is put on the store shelves. There are almost always agreements in place, especially with electronic devices.
Merchandisers will often initiate returns too where stores actually send back the item to the manufacturer so they can ship somewhere else with higher demand, limit supply, or just take the product off the market.
JupiterResearch calls format war futile {Engadget HD}
Nov 3rd 2007 2:35AM SuperDynamite,
I hope you realize how ridiculous your posts are. I barely ever comment on HD DVD or Blu-Ray items but seriously, do you think you are changing anyone's mind with your long winded responses? (Seriously Wikipedia?)
I think you also forget that there are a lot of low cost HDTVs that display 720p and 1080i and HD DVD player for 100 bucks fits perfectly with those. If someone has the money to drop on an expensive HDTV then they can probably handle paying for the 1080p HD DVD player, which still costs less than a BD player. The majority of HDTV in households today are not 1080p capable. The 1080p argument is fruitless.
The DVD Forum voted and supported the HD DVD format, not the Blu-Ray disc and that is common knowledge.
Lastly, Blu-Ray is the most idiotic name for a format ever. That isn't a decision maker for me, but seriously Blu-Ray. You can tell the BDA has realized consumer confusion as recent commercials consistently say "Blu-Ray Hi-Def discs" as compared to just "Blu-Ray" like they used to. Now thats a mouthful.
Also, if you are such a connoisseur of the format war you would know that there is no hyphen between HD and DVD.
How to buy a Toshiba HD-A3 for $87 {Engadget HD}
Nov 2nd 2007 2:44PM Well if Circuit City has anyone that reads Engadget this is probably not going to happen for anyone else. I would imagine a company wide bulletin was just posted.
Best Buy offers the Toshiba HD-A2 for $100, too, and other HD DVD deals {Engadget HD}
Nov 2nd 2007 8:30AM I can't say for certain about Best Buy, but my Wal Mart experience just wrapped up so I can tell you about that.
From the looks of it they had 20 in stock for the 8 AM sale and all 20 were gone by 8:30. I would be shocked if Wal Mart did not sell almost its entire HD-A2 stock today. Also walmart is running some HD DVD's for 15 bucks.
This could be a big day for HD DVD, I will be interested to see the stats.
