Engadget HD Podcast 231: CES 2011 Part 2 - 01.07.2011

The second day of CES never disappoints, well almost, and this year we kick off with the latest news out of Skywalker Ranch. We also learned about Hollywood's vision of the future of digital distribution and SRS Labs vision of the future for surround sound. Today also happened to be the day for Media Center news -- apparently it isn't dead -- as there are three embedded Media Center set-top boxes due this year as well as a few more CableCARD tuners on way. No doubt it was a good time, so be sure to not skip to many chapters in this one.
