Engadget HD Podcast 220 - 10.19.2010
Can't get enough talk about regulations and the perils of being a cable subscriber who won't put up with garbage user interfaces? Great news as we talk for almost 20 minutes about the new CableCARD rules and how they might apply. We do eventually move on to make fun of TiVo and later to lust after the PS3's ability to bring 5.1 to Netflix streaming. But nothing is as much fun as talking about contract disputes and how much we do or don't like the new Sony Google TV remote that we've never even used. Good times, no doubt.
