Engadget HD Podcast 203 - 07.13.2010
Between DirecTV, Japanese baseball, PS3, iScan Duo and Toy Story, there was plenty of 3D talk to lead things off and we even had to call in Engadget classic editor Richard Lai for a quick assist from across the pond. Of course, there's still plenty of 2D HDTV news to discuss, including Suddenlink's TiVo deal and what it might mean for the future of the DVR company, how popular multiroom DVRs really are, and the many, many ways cable companies are screwing up. Apple rumors lead off the next segment, while we also ponder the possibilities of Comcast's DVR2Go trademark filing. Closing things out is a quick session of U-Verse bashing after Home Theater Review's...err, review, and what's cool about Intel's latest remote control technology
