Engadget HD Podcast 033 - 09.27.2006
Both Ben and Matt had CableCARDs installed this week and start the show off talking the good and the bad they experienced. Ironically, one of the installations went smoothly and the other one didn't, but they were both installed in time for a weekend filled with football. The two of 'em discuss what the heck DirecTV is doing with their high-def programming and possible replacements for the fledgling providers. The high-def format war was discussed at the end of the show with new content and the possible price of the XBOX 360 HD DVD drive.
