Engadget HD Podcast 219: Ultraviolet edition - 10.15.2010
We're always chancing the dream of watching whatever content, whenever and wherever we want so we couldn't stop pestering the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem for more details about its Ultraviolet product. Basically it holds the promise to let us watch any movie or TV show we buy, anywhere we want. So we sit down and talk to Mitch Singer, President of DECE, about his vision for Ultraviolet and we have to say it sounds too good to be true. It isn't expected to hit the streets until next year, but if you want an idea of what it might bring have a listen.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).Host: Ben Drawbaugh (@bjdraw)Producer: Trent WolbeHear the podcast LISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (OGG)LISTEN (AAC)
Engadget HD Podcast 218 - 10.12.2010
This week's podcast gets started with some of the best comments left after the last episode, before we delve into our (very different) opinions of the initial Google TV efforts from Logitech and Sony. After that, Cisco tries to get into HDTV-based videoconferencing and the Windows Phone 7 launch brings some bonuses for HD viewers in the form of Xbox 360s on U-verse and U-verse mobile. DirecTV and Verizon also made news last week, and while 3D fans should take note of ESPN's NBA plans and Call of Duty: Black Ops. FCC speculation, Toshiba's 3DTV and a survey close things out before we give a shout out to our own Darren Murph for setting a Guinness World Record.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent Wolbe00:09:38 - Logitech Revue with Google TV details: $299; free iOS, Android apps, accessories are extra00:26:30 - Dish Network prices Logitech's Revue Google TV box at $179 for subscribers00:29:24 - Sony's Google TV controller outed on ABC's Nightline (video)00:37:25 - Cisco unveils Umi consumer video conferencing system00:44:32 - AT&T brings U-verse to Windows Phone 7, Xbox 36000:48:30 - AT&T U-verse Mobile preview00:51:47 - DirecTV's Nomad might satisfy our thirst for content on the go00:53:19 - Verizon rolls out FiOS on Demand app for Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile00:55:48 - Verizon, Disney deal means ESPN on tablets, ESPN 3D and Goal Line channel for FiOS00:56:03 - ESPN 3D will broadcast 14 NBA games this year starting with Heat/Knicks December 1701:03:54 - Call of Duty: Black Ops adds 3D to its list of features on PC / PS3 / Xbox 36001:07:33 - Poll: Will the FCC make any meaningful changes to the CableCARD rules this Thursday?01:10:28 - Toshiba Regza GL1 3D preview: no frills, no glasses, some issues (video)01:12:14 - J.D.

A relatively light load of topics provided plenty of conversation on this week's episode, with Google TV, Apple TV and a new Xbox 360 dashboard update leading things off. After that we investigate whether Bose's latest innovation is worth the price and talk Blu-ray market penetration, glasses free 3D and George Lucas' latest announcement. Finally, we spent some time discussing the canceled TV shows (so long My Generation and Lone Star) and which ones have caught our eye so far this season.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent Wolbe05:13 - Google TV quick tour shows off the service's inner workings, Kenny Powers' dreams14:35 - Apple TV review (2010)16:00 - Confirmed: Apple TV can play 1080p content from iTunes, but still only outputs 720p20:58 - Xbox Live Fall 2010 Dashboard Update preview: ESPN, Netflix search, Kinect, and more!30:57 - Bose VideoWave fits surround sound into TV, custom UI aims to simplify set-top box clutter (video)37:56 - Blu-ray household penetration hits 17 percent53:02 - Star Wars flicks to see 3D re-release, starting with Episode 1 in 2012Hear the podcast LISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (OGG)LISTEN (AAC)

CEDIA 2010 is in the books, and we've got plenty of news from the show to talk about including 3D projectors, what we saw (and didn't see) for Media Center and a surprising Blu-ray treat from Disney. Of course, news from outside of Atlanta was a big part of last week as well, so we've got plenty to discuss about AppleTV, Boxee Box, the latest in Netflix, a new series of Roku units and more. Of course, any week we can close things out with a new giant sized HD scoreboard is a plus, so ahead and just click that play button.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent Wolbe03:30 - Apple TV now shipping07:21 - TiVo banking on the software business, delays DirecTV HD unit to 201109:38 - Follow the money; the real reason why your AVR doesn't support DirecTV's 3D16:07 - Sony holding Google TV event on October 1221:20 - Runco's first 3Dimension projector uses passive glasses23:43 - Boxee Box on display at FCC, inside and out25:07 - Netflix launches in Canada today: streaming only service for C$7.99 per month28:00 - Netflix busted for using actors in crowd at Canadian launch event29:48 - Netflix, NBC Universal content deal brings Battlestar Galactica, SNL and more to Watch Instantly33:30 - Sharp unveils AQUOS Quattron 3D for the States36:44 - Despicable Me Blu-ray, 3D combo packs dated for December 1437:55 - Disney launching calibration disc for pros and novices alike at CEDIA40:57 - Roku XDS review43:00 - Speakercraft's BoomTomb brings subharmonics under ground44:20 - Sony's VPL-VW90ES 3D projector priced and dated for the US48:02 - Panasonic, Charlotte Motor Speedway team up for the biggest HD screen everHear the podcast LISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (OGG)LISTEN (AAC)

Coming to you live from Atlanta we've got our first podcast recorded during CEDIA, though this one is mostly dealing with non-event related news from the past week. Now that PlayStation 3 is (sort of) Blu-ray 3D compatible, it appears we'll see a few more movies popping up at retail, while Samsung is doing its best to make that sub-$1,000 3D plasma an even more attractive option. Next we deal with a few movies that aren't out on 2D Blu-ray... yet, and discuss the future of control technology as imagined by Crestron, Logitech and, surprisingly, ABC. Next we discuss Samsung's exclusive Media Hub and movie store before mentioning the HD upgrade coming shortly to two of our favorit sports shows. To wrap things up we've got the results of last weeks poll and finally a quick run through of our most anticipated new fall programming.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent Wolbe08:45 - PS3 update 3.50 adds 3D Blu-ray movie support starting September 2110:00 - PS3 firmware 3.50 is a go, 3D Blu-ray movies suddenly feel more wanted11:00 - 3D Blu-ray on the PS3: it works!

Are you ready for football? If the North American variant is not to your liking, you'll probably want to skip ahead because between true 5.1 finally arriving on Monday night, Sunday Ticket talk and an update on the EHD fantasy football league there's plenty to discuss. After that we move on to Boxee and its new Intel partnership, plus Google TV info and a couple of interesting demos from IDF sporting Windows Media Center Embedded. TiVo's trying something different to sell DVRs and we like the idea, while Panasonic jumps on the QWERTY remote bandwagon and Panasonic showed off a new high end camcorder recently. After that we discuss whether SSDs have a place in DVRs, what the SRS/Microsoft deal could mean for Netflix and close with a slew of 3D and Blu-ray news -- enjoy!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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent Wolbe00:18:02 - Monday Night Football gets a few new wrinkles for 2010, like 5.1 audio, super slow motion and more (video)00:28:00 - DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket To-Go floods mobile app stores everywhere00:35:00 - Poll: How does NFL RedZone compare to DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket?00:39:33 - Boxee Box ditches NVIDIA's Tegra 2 for Intel CE4100, pre-orders start today at $19900:43:35 - Intel CEO reveals Google TV launch is this month, explains McAfee purchase00:47:40 - Acer Revo 2 with RevoPad sports Intel CE4100, Windows Media Center Embedded, and a slide-out touchpad with disappearing keys00:55:07 - TiVo tries a 'limited test' of free-on-contract DVRs01:02:50 - Motorola announces NYXboard QWERTY remote, super capacitor-based NYXgreen01:04:48 - Panasonic announces AF105 Micro Four Thirds camcorder, interchangeable lenses not included01:07:17 - Sandisk, NDS showing off SSD-based 16GB DVRs01:11:40 - Microsoft, SRS team up on surround sound for Silverlight, will this finally bring 5.1 to Netflix?01:16:52 - LG's THX-certified PX950 3D plasma TV eyes-on01:21:23 - Disney makes Alice in Wonderland, Bolt Blu-ray 3D discs Sony exclusives this winter01:22:22 - Toy Story 3 Blu-ray listed on Amazon for December 10, could it be 3D?01:25:25 - Nielsen survey shows high interest in 3DTV, low interest in paying for it right nowHear the podcastLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (OGG)LISTEN (AAC)

After a slight holiday delay we're right back to cover all the big HD news from the last week. In case you were under a rock, the new Apple TV was revealed and of course competitors like Roku, Boxee and Amazon were quick to respond. After our opinions on Jobs' box and the new reality of $0.99 television show rentals/purchases we dived right into a slew of IFA news from Sony, LG, Toshiba Panasonic and the rest including Avatar on Blu-ray 3D this year, new TVs, a 3D projector from Sony and much, much more. We could be seeing the Xbox 360 added as a U-Verse set-top box soon, but we're even more excited about a new channel announced in the wake of ESPN's agreement with Time Warner. To wrap things up, we've got our impressions of the first college football game aired on ESPN 3D, the new Chuck Blu-ray boxed set and (spoiler alert) a limited edition release of Inception on Blu-ray is on the way.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent Wolbe00:01:28 - The new Apple TV for $9900:05:00 - Apple TV (2010) first look / hands-on!

We had to wait all week to talk about the TiVo Slide Remote on the podcast, listen in to find out if it was worth the wait. Meanwhile, Google TV made the news last week in an unusual way, but Sony and Netflix had their own streaming news to cover. A shocking drop in the number of people subscribing to traditional pay-tv services set the table for our discussion of the latest news from Verizon and Time Warner, before we talked about the latest HDTVs and 3DTVs on the way from LG and Toshiba. Finally, this week's podcast closes out with a slew of Blu-ray news including a new classic on the way, and a brand new use for BD-Live.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent Wolbe07:15 - TiVo Slide Remote review15:10 - Logitech's 'Lonely TV' Revue with Google TV ad may be sending the wrong message18:20 - Logitech's 'Lonely TV Part 3' Google TV ad pulled, Part 4 steps up to the plate19:32 - Sony's Netbox streams Netflix, YouTube and other internet stuff for $13026:15 - Netflix adds iPhone and iPod touch compatibility in latest app version28:25 - Pay TV subscriptions down during the 2nd quarter32:10 - Time Warner claims it's the HD king of New York with 150 channels, StartOver33:30 - Verizon pushes for holograms in 10 years, wants to deliver it via FiOS39:39 - Nanotechnology enables ultra high-def LCDs, cheaper stacked-electrode OLED screens40:00 - LG to unveil LEX8 3DTV at IFA featuring 'Nano LED' backlighting42:32 - LG to show first 3D THX-certified plasma at IFA alongside 180-inch 3D plasma prototype44:03 - Toshiba reportedly prepping glasses-free 3DTV for Q4 launch48:14 - Get Him to the Greek Blu-ray includes a free streaming copy -- of a different movie53:29 - Kino Lorber announces The Complete Metropolis Blu-ray with newly recovered footage55:28 - James Cameron talks Avatar's theatrical, Blu-ray Special Editions57:37 - Lost: The Complete Collection / Season Six Blu-ray review roundupLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (OGG)LISTEN (AAC)

After that we have a look at NVIDIA's 3DTV Play, and what a good news/bad news week it was for Verizon FiOS subscribers. HBO's still talking mobile streaming and Redbox is hiding its Blu-ray discs, but football fanatics will be especially interested in DirecTV offering Sunday Ticket to non-subscribers. then it's on to Dish, with new streaming TV added to its website and plenty of Google TV news before we ask who is right for the latest BD-Live feature included on this season's boxed set of The Office, and if anyone is actually using TV Everywhere.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent Wolbe00:00:30 - We finally, really did it: Engadget gets a new commenting system00:09:20 - FOX starts framing the NFL in 16x9 and letterboxing the laggards00:15:34 - A first hand look at NVIDIA 3DTV Play and PowerDVD 3D00:20:02 - Verizon FiOS Simulcrypt rollout will break most CableCARD tuners00:29:45 - Verizon FiOS set-top boxes getting a new HD guide, external storage and more in Q400:45:00 - Verizon FiOS will stream live TV, VOD plus your own stuff to TVs, iPads & mobile devices soon00:49:08 - HBO heading to iPad and mobile devices 'in six months,' still cold on Netflix00:58:07 - Is your local Redbox hiding a touch of Blu?01:03:07 - DirecTV to offer Sunday Ticket online, in HD to non-subscribers -- but there's a catch01:09:08 - Dish Network launching DishOnline.com this week, streaming 'several cable networks' to subscribers01:12:05 - Google TV demo shows off Dish Network integration, universal search01:18:03 - Dish Network survey hints at Google TV pricing options01:20:37 - BD-Live lets The Office Season Six Blu-ray set stream next season's episodes in HD01:24:27 - Poll: Are you using TV Everywhere, anywhere?LISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (OGG)LISTEN (AAC)

Star Wars easily topped all other high definition related news this week so it was the logical choice to lead off the podcast. After some more Blu-ray news, we looked at the future of TV as seen by Netflix, (potentially) Apple, Google and Cox. A quick update to the OCUR spec spurred some CableCARD and Media Center talk before we addressed whether or not anyone should still be buying a 720p TV. Panasonic and Samsung had plenty of new hardware to show off last week, while Samsung is also pushing for more developers on its app platform -- we'll wait and see how that works out. We close this out 3D news including a Mercedes video you absolutely must see, even in 2D, the "first 3D NFL game" and where most of you will probably get the best chance to watch some football in 3D.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent Wolbe00:07:15 - George Lucas officially announces Star Wars on Blu-ray in 201100:19:45 - HBO releasing Deadwood: The Complete Series on Blu-ray November 2300:25:22 - Netflix, EPIX deal is official; Paramount, MGM and Lionsgate movies start streaming September 100:34:10 - Exclusive: Upcoming Apple TV loses 1080p playback, gains apps... and will be renamed iTV00:45:07 - Poll: Are you interested in buying Google TV hardware?00:47:40 - Cox to offer retail TiVo Premiere DVRs next year, first with cable VOD & Amazon, Netflix access00:54:30 - CableLabs amends OCUR spec, tuner sharing and MythTV are on01:08:24 - Ask Engadget HD: Should I buy a 720p HDTV?01:10:50 - Samsung's 3D gala: 65-inch UN65C8000, 50-inch PN50C490, and BD-C8000 eyes-on01:14:58 - Samsung shows off portable, HTIB 3D Blu-ray player options and the biggest LED 3DTV yet01:24:30 - Panasonic intros 42- and 50-inch 3D Viera GT25 plasma sets, its first with 2D-to-3D conversion01:25:00 - Samsung puts up cash, HDTVs for developers in 'Free the TV Apps' contest01:27:36 - Mercedes SLS AMG and Isle of Man take center stage in 'world's fastest 3D car film'01:29:43 - Verizon FiOS scores the first NFL 3D broadcast with Giants/Patriots September 201:34:12 - CEA's Demo Days brings ESPN 3D to retailers for one weekend in SeptemberLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (OGG)LISTEN (AAC)

We were starting to think it would never happen, but the HD news flow did slow down and as a result the podcast was under an hour for the first time in a long time. That's not to say there wasn't any news though and leading the way was new digital distribution options for AT&T U-Verse customers. AT&T is an IPTV solution so of course that makes a great segue to Telus and their new Xbox 360 set-top. The second half of the show is almost all about Microsoft's Media Center, including new tuners and how it compares to the latest offering from TiVo, the Tivo Premiere.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent Wolbe02:45 - U-verse Mobile 2.0 for iPhone available, combines downloadable TV shows with remote DVR access05:36 - AT&T's U-Verse trumpets second quarter gains, new features while sneaking in more HD streams08:50 - Telus turns Canadian Xbox 360s into IPTV boxes starting today18:00 - Cablevision promises TV, VOD streaming to iPads, other networked devices -- but only at home21:36 - Hauppauge officially announces HD PVR support in Windows Media Center24:56 - InfiniTV 4 quad CableCARD tuner is shipping28:28 - Poll: What's the most important feature in a DVR?31:50 - TiVo Premiere vs Windows 7 Media Center48:10 - Who should I follow on Twitter?

It might be just as hard for you as it is for us to believe that it has been an entire year since a video podcast dedicated to our favorite topic has been live on Revision 3, but it has. So we kicked ourselves for not having Patrick and Robert from HD Nation on the show sooner than an entire 52 weeks ago and turned over a new leaf immediately by having them on a special episode of our show. Instead of a set criteria, this time around we covered what we're watching, what's happened in the world of HD in the past year and finally where we think things are headed. It is always great to get a new perspective on the show and when it comes to HD, we have no favorite guests on the show and Patrick and Robert.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Guests: Patrick Norton (@patricknorton), Robert Haron (@robertharon)Producer: Trent WolbeLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (OGG)LISTEN (AAC)

We're back to our normal roster this week and get things started with plenty of Blu-ray news including Redbox's announcement, what Disney has in store next, the current state of the market and the latest hardware from Toshiba, RCA and Panasonic. Up next we have plenty of 3D updates, from ESPN's X Games and college football plans to what's next for Sky 3D. Of course, as sports lovers, we can't see ESPN actually being yanked from Bright House or Time Warner but we still covered their dispute before addressing the NFL's preseason streaming offer and whether or not anyone still actually goes to games. Bringing up the tail end this week is an update on Discovery's Shark Week festivities, the new Monsoon Vulkano, the death of tru2way at retail and an in-depth look at how to get the most out of ShowAnalyzer for your Media Center PC.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent WolbeProgram00:04:50 - Redbox rolling out $1.50 Blu-ray rentals at 13,000-plus kiosks, nationwide by fall00:15:18 - Disney's The Lion King and Alice in Wonderland come home on Blu-ray in 201100:19:58 - Blu-ray and digital distribution not enough to hedge DVD's 2010 decline00:24:15 - Toshiba BDX2700 Blu-ray player review00:28:40 - RCA BRC3108 portable Blu-ray ships to Target, seriously undercuts Panny's DMP-B1500:31:34 - Panasonic's new DMP-BDT100 is a cheaper, slimmer choice for Blu-ray 3D playback00:32:48 - ESPN lays out X Games 16 coverage via online, HD & 3D formats, including in-car 3D cams00:34:00 - ESPN 3D schedules 13 college football broadcasts this season; Va.

Engadget HD Podcast 205 - 07.21.2010
This weeks show gets kicked off with some Blu-ray news as the details of two anticipated titles are reveled and then discussed as well as an very influential classic. Of course 3D comes up as we cover the update for PowerDVD, ESPN's first 3D broadcast that was produced in house and the worst channel ever. In PS3 news we talk its 3D limitations and its new found ability to stream Hulu Plus content. That wasn't the only Sony news though as we covered in depth how much (some of us) like the new Sony HD camcorder. Oh, and then do we ever get our soap box and let the world know how we feel about AllVid and those who appose it. We round the show out covering a few content related topics including Netflix coming to Canada, streaming devices and the first licensing deal for XStreamHD.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Guest: Ben BowersProducer: Trent WolbeProgram00:04:05 - Iron Man 2 Blu-ray goes on sale September 28 with plenty of extras00:06:25 - Aliens Anthology lays its eggs on Blu-ray October 2600:08:53 - Criterion Collection's October Blu-ray release schedule includes Seven Samurai00:14:52 - PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D Mark II update finally adds 3D Blu-ray support00:17:21 - ESPN's Home Run Derby in 3D goes off without a hitch00:23:19 - Verizon FiOS chooses "the worst TV channel ever" for some 3D VOD00:29:35 - Sony restricts stereoscopic PS3 games to 720p 3D00:35:26 - Hulu Plus on PS3, hands-on (update: video)00:38:10 - Sony issues NEX-VG10: first interchangeable lens HD Handycam camcorder00:43:10 - Sony NEX-VG10 HD camcorder preview00:48:06 - Google is the latest to support the FCC's new IP video gateway00:54:40 - Sony, TiVo, NCTA and others chime in on CableCARD's replacement01:07:46 - RCN offers TiVo Premiere in Boston; Philadelphia, Chicago are next01:08:36 - Netflix coming to Canada this fall01:11:26 - Syabas Popbox surprises everyone, including Syabas, by going on sale today01:13:30 - Boxee's first production Box gets shown off to the world (video)01:20:25 - Lionsgate first to sign content deal with XStreamHD01:26:33 - Ask Engadget HD: What's the best new demo material for my home theater?01:39:03 - Japan still looking into holographic broadcasts for World Cup 2022LISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (OGG)LISTEN (AAC)

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 technologyGet 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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Guest: Richard Lai (@richardlai)Producer: Trent WolbeProgram00:08:37 - Early DirecTV 3D reviews take the good with plenty of the bad00:13:33 - Japan just barely beats MLB to first 3D broadcast00:15:05 - PlayStation Blu-ray 3D update arrives in September; 3D photo, PlayTV and YouTube support to follow00:18:04 - DVDO iScan Duo to get an update to pass 3D signal00:19:18 - Toy Story 3 in 4K 3D: does higher-res equal higher enjoyment?00:30:10 - Suddenlink to lean on TiVo for DVRs, non-DVR set tops and multiroom00:34:52 - Poll: Are you going to get / already set up with a multiroom DVR?00:39:00 - Ok that's it, providers should stop simulcasting SD to HD set-tops00:44:08 - Big cable companies considering packages with, wait for it, less channels00:48:05 - Next Apple TV to offer 99 cent streaming episode rentals?00:55:30 - Comcast files for DVR2Go trademark, is the portable DVR on the way?00:57:22 - Home Theater Review does its thing with U-Verse, comes away jaded01:01:10 - Intel's smart TV remote will recognize you, tailor content to your wishesLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (OGG)LISTEN (AAC)
Engadget HD Podcast 202 - 07.07.2010
Audio glitches pushed this episode back a day, but you had to know we'd come through with the HD news. Hulu Plus and Netflix's industry shakeup continues and puts them at the top new position, followed by discussion of Comcast's multiroom DVR offering and how it compares to the competition. Later we move to Media Center talk and whether or not switching is a good idea for everyone and why (or why not), along with an in depth breakdown of the responses submitted to the FCC about CableCARD, and what will happen next. A new version of VLC is news for Macs and PCs, before we get to our poll question of the week. DirecTV and Sony top 3D related news this week, before we wrap things up with the state of control technology today, and a look towards the future possibilities of HDBaseT.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent WolbeProgram00:02:15 - Hands-on with Hulu Plus via Samsung HDTV, iPhone and iPad00:15:00 - Hulu CEO: we're 'complementary' to cable00:18:25 - Netflix adds Relativity Media to its Instant queue, takes on HBO and Showtime00:22:30 - Comcast starts offering multiroom features, 500GB hard drives with AnyRoom DVR 00:31:45 - Ask Engadget HD: Should I switch to Windows Media Center?00:35:00 - A war of good and bad is raging before the FCC over CableCARD rules 00:43:50 - VLC 1.1 released, adds hardware acceleration and new codec support 00:47:33 - Poll: Are you still watching the World Cup? 00:53:33 - DirecTV's new n3D channel is the first to bring home all 3D, all the time 00:55:16 - Sony's active shutter glasses now on sale, $150 buys your eyes a third dimension01:00:28 - Sony's 2010 ES line includes 3D and excludes online retailers; Android remote app on the way 01:04:15 - HD 101: IR blasters, HDMI-CEC, RS-232 and IP control 01:17:10 - HDBaseT 1.0 finalized; LG, Samsung & Sony ally behind one do-everything cableLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)

Now that episode 200 is out of the way we can get back to what we do best; talkin' up HD. Lots of fun stuff this week too, like Mitsubishi's gigantic 75-inch LaserVue TV, which of course kicked off additional topics like how big of a TV should you buy, and how much you spent on your HDTV. Then keeping on that bigger is better topic, we talk about how one might use the 128GB Blu-ray Disc. Then of course we talk 3D and how it is coming to Nascar -- while F1 is still in SD. Finally we talk regulations pertaining to 1394 by the FCC and about how amazing the new iPhone 4 display is to an HD snob.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent WolbeProgram06:57 - Mitsubishi's LaserVue HDTV makes triumphant 75-inch return, becomes 3D-ready10:44 - Ask Engadget HD: What size HDTV should I buy?15:48 - Poll: How much did you spend on your HDTV?19:23 - Back to the Future's 25th Anniversary celebrated by a Blu-ray box set October 2624:23 - 128GB BDXL Blu-ray disc specification finalized... and fabulous!30:39 - Comcast, Time Warner, Bright House pick up Coke Zero 400 3D broadcast41:45 - Hulu reportedly talking to CBS, Viacom about inclusion in Plus subscriber package43:10 - Bloomberg: Hulu coming to PlayStation network 'soon'46:56 - VidaBox adds tablet control for its Media Center PCs, iPad is first in line50:18 - FCC waives 1394 requirement in lieu of an IP interface58:08 - The iPhone's display blows away every other display we've ever seenLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)
Engadget HD Podcast 200 - 06.29.2010
Yes, that is right sir, we have recorded our 200th episode. It's been a long road, four years since our first show and while only one host has made it through every episode -- but one that is -- we've had a number of great hosts and guests along the way. In fact we've had more guests than we can count and four hosts that have passed the baton, so we figured we'd take a stroll down memory lane with a few like Kevin Tofel who was one of the first hosts, and Ryan Block who was instrumental behind the scenes and even made it on a few shows. Of course we couldn't do a proper number 200 without Steven Kim, co-host of over 100 shows. Last but not least, we looked forward to the next 200 with the one and only Joshua Topolsky. So while we didn't talk about any current HD news (that episode will come later this week) each of the guests had plenty to say about the show and HD in general -- almost 2 hours worth in fact. It has been a fun trip and we hope you continue to enjoy it with us. Thanks to every one of you who has been a part of the ride.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 (@bjdraw), Richard Lawler (@Rjcc)Producer: Trent WolbeProgram00:04:25 - Kevin Tofel (@kevinctofel)00:25:15 - Ryan Block (@ryan)01:06:50 - Steve Kim (@stevekim)01:35:36 - Josh Topolsky (@joshuatopolsky)LISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)
