Looking to get away from all the Apple news? Well, as Ben puts it in this episode, "you've come to right podcast" -- if you're all about E3, that is.

Ben hasn't decided whether to order the PS4 or Xbox, but Richard is considering ordering as many as he can get his mitts on.

Hurricane Sandy (and a flood of news courtesy of Google, Microsoft and Apple) pushed our podcast back to a Halloween edition, but for some the scariest thing is news that Disney will take over Lucasfilm and its franchises like Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

Of course other standbys like Netflix, Roku and TiVo have news for us to discuss and Ben's new laptop means we can record as long as we want.

You can tell the count down to CES is upon us because the companies that make the things we love are quietly counting their holiday earnings and planning for the next big thing. As exciting as the anticipation is, it doesn't leave many things for us to talk about so we'll talk about our dreams from TiVo for CES and stupid things like HDMI marketing ideas. The FCC is almost always a good topic with broadcasters in fear of their business model and the MPAA dreaming of SOC for Christmas. Finally we talk a little 3D, unbelievable survey results, and our latest poll on your TV viewing habits.Get the podcast[iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).[RSS - AAC] Enhanced feed, subscribe to this with iTunes.[RSS - MP3] Add the Engadget HD Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator[Zune]Subscribe to the Podcast directly in the Zune Marketplace[MP3] Download the show (MP3).Hosts: Ben Drawbaugh, Richard LawlerProducer: Trent WolbeProgram00:57 - Comments from Engadget HD Podcast 16406:35 - Is a new TiVo imminent?12:37 - TiVo's 3Q results reveal Virgin Media UI deal, new remotes on the way -- but no new boxes17:32 - Ask Engadget HD: What's the cheapest way to get streaming internet video on my HDTV? 22:08 - HDMI logos updated: version numbers out, supported features in 26:23 - Broadcasters predictably unsettled about FCC taking away spectrum 32:16 - Selectable Output control is bad, but not worth lying about 41:55 - Spending on cable and satellite services are up 50:14 - James Cameron thinks he can get viewers asking to wear 3D glasses56:13 - Survey says 13 percent have never heard of Hi-Def 59:00 - Poll: What's the best night to watch TV?
