Microsoft's Ashley Highfield sees the end of TV as we know it

Sep 2nd 2009 1:58PM on Engadget HD

Calc.exe: I installed MCEbuddy on my PC, changed about two settings in it (one of which was the default save folder) and I have recorded TV on my zune in zero steps. I'm pretty sure that it is zero steps regardless of the mp3 player you have (unless you need to manually initiate a wired synchronization) with that set up.

The hardest part is deciding which shows to record.

The navy just needs to develop power pellets, then they can go after Inky without worry...

Ask Engadget HD: Can I subscribe to a service for just HDTV channels?

Channel 7 is WHDH-HD (the local NBC affiliate) on my DirecTV setup. They interleave all the HD channels, so 7 is NBC-SD and 7-1 is NBC-HD but you can choose not to show SD when a HD version exists. Given that all of the channel numbers are virtual (try finding Channel 7 HD on a digital cable ready TV without a cable box!), I don't see why cable can't do the same kind of thing as DirecTV.

Verizon was stupid enough to coax me to DirecTV while I waited for FiOS. I have no desire to upgrade now!

2009 WNBA Draft will be the first in HD

Fast motion and draft shows are not two phrases you hear together often. Am I supposed to be more excited about it now that it is in HD?

When are they going to put accelerometers into it and try pitching it as the worlds largest gaming console? They could call it the Xbox Touch. I'm sure it would be well received.

My 4Gb SD card works in my Wii? Where do you get the 2Gb limit from?

One of these days they'll have A2DP so I can leave my phone in the other room without having to plug it into my bedside radio.

Still no Bluetooth? I guess they want you to buy the crappy earbuds.

IOGEAR's USB Laptop KVM Switch provides your portable with impressive new powers

The only problem with synergy, which got it banned from our company is that it doesn't support encryption or authentication out of the box:

"Synergy does not do any authentication or encryption. Any computer can connect to the synergy server if it provides a screen name known to the server" (They do go on to explain how you can use SSH to combat this, but this means that the end user has to be much more careful about how you set it up).

At least with this iogear solution, as overpriced as it is, you aren't leaving your computer open to manipulation.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
