Oh TiVo, we just want to love you so much but we had a feeling that the Premier wouldn't live up to our expectations and we spend the beginning part of this show talking about how low you can go. We do get over it eventually and move on to bigger and better things like ESPN 3D which is now officially going to launch on DirecTV in June. That should mark the beginning of the 3D era despite the recent 3D hockey on MSG. Finally we round things out with some talk of lip sync resolutions.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 WolbeProgram03:37 - TiVo Premiere review14:38 - TiVo Premiere now on sale, will you pick one up?16:25 - Warner / Blockbuster deal keeps movies out of kiosks for a month20:04 - AT&T's mobile U-verse getting upgraded: download your recordings on the go22:46 - Verizon shelves plans for future FiOS rollouts, relocations to Massachusetts set to boom25:48 - DirecTV will have ESPN 3D at launch, next to its own N3D channel28:52 - 3D hockey nets positive reviews, biggest surprise of the night was a Rangers win31:16 - New glasses-free 3D tech uses per pixel prisms for zero crosstalk, audience flexibility39:12 - Ask Engadget HD: How to fix lip sync issues?LISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)
Engadget HD Podcast 185 - Jethead geeks out on RVU
Ever since we first heard of the RVU Alliance we've been excited about the technology and about the supporting members. At the time we didn't give much thought to the companies that we've never heard of that actually implement the technology, but when David Bye from Jethead reached out to us concerning a story, we just had to invite him on the show. David brought the head geek, Ben Payne, with him and for an hour we go on about RVU's abilities, shortcomings and possible implementations.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 DrawbaughGuests: Ben Payne VP Engineering and David Bye VP Marketing & Business Development of Jethead DevelopmentProducer: Trent WolbeProgram RVU Alliance gets Motorola, Pace, Thomson and others to dream the multiroom dream LISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)

After our Lost discussion last week, we're right back at it with Avatar Blu-ray & DVD release news to open this week's show. That's just the start for 3D news, with new content and providers popping up almost daily, but how much will it all cost? After that we dig into the latest updated on Netflix streaming for the PC and why we're not worried about ICT. After that there's cable news with compression, CableCARD and TiVo before some healthy unfounded speculation about what Google can do to the set-top box market. Finally we figure out if people really do love NBC's Olympics tape-delay and who is (or is not) watching Life on discovery, and why.

Sometimes it feels like all we do is talk about what's coming, but not today, as we get to actually talk about what is here -- for a change. First on the list is 3DTVs from Panasonic and Samsung and how the two compare. Then we move on to some exciting new 3D content like The Final Four and The Masters. Then we talk Media Center and about our initial impressions of the Ceton InfiniTV 4, at which point Jeremy Hammer joins in the fun to fill in the details. He even sticks around to explain what DMIPS are when we talk about the TiVo Premier processor, and his thoughts on exclusive programming deals; and finally Ben's favorite show Lost.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 LawlerGuest: Jeremey Hammer of Ceton CorpProducer: Trent WolbeProgram00:01:15 - Comments from Podcast 18200:05:03 - Panasonic 3D home entertainment system goes on sale to a country in mourning00:10:57 - Samsung's 2010 3DTVs priced from $1,700 to ridiculous and everywhere in between00:15:27 - First 3D showdown pits Samsung vs Panasonic00:18:43 - Poll: Will you still buy home theater equipment that isn't 3D-ready?00:23:09 - CBS Sports to present the Final Four in 100 3D theaters00:25:57 - Comcast will beat DirecTV to the punch by broadcasting the Masters Tournament in 3D April 7-1100:28:50 - Netflix prototyped for Windows Phone 7 Series00:30:56 - Sony signs up all six major studios for HD movies on PlayStation Network00:36:08 - Ceton's quad CableCARD tuner for Media Center available for pre-order00:14:42 - The processor in the TiVo Premiere is over twice as fast as the Series301:26:54 - Court rules against Comcast, Cablevision on new FCC program access rulesLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)

3DTVs get their big launch at Best Buy this week, but we kick off with talk of TiVo's latest legal victory. We do talk 3D for some time though and can't wait to see if the in store demos live up to what we saw at CES -- we also take some time to try to clear up some confusion in regards to HDMI, 3D and all the requirements and standards. Finally we talk about why an IR emitter for a iPhone is a bad idea, why we don't really care much about Real's loss to the MPAA and why you should wait for the BBC's version of Life on Blu-ray rather than watching it on Discovery.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 WolbeProgram03:10 - Comments from Podcast 18109:00 - TiVo's $200m damages award in EchoStar case affirmed, EchoStar to appeal (again)15:58 - Panasonic's VT25 3DTVs will be nearly 50% off Japanese prices, launch this week at Best Buy21:50 - Panasonic G20 HDTV review shows plasma's still got it23:37 - Samsung debuts 3DTV LED LCD ads during the Oscars28:03 - HDMI 1.4a spec released in full, lays down mandatory 3D format support details39:27 - New Potato's FLPR IR dongle gives your iPhone home automation capabilities40:00 - RedEye mini converts iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into IR-beaming universal remote47:73 - RealNetworks to stop selling RealDVD, your copyrights are safe -- for now54:44 - Discovery's next epic series Life airs March 21 on seven networks, June 1 on Blu-rayLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)
Engadget HD Podcast 181 - TiVo Premiere
A new TiVo isn't something that happens everyday -- in fact the last time was almost three years ago -- and because so many love and hate their TiVo at the exact same time, these same people get very passionate about the changes they expect. This is a task we weren't willing to take on our own, so we invited Engadget Classic Editors Nilay and Paul (one is a die hard TiVo user and the other actually went to the event) and just for a little outside perspective, we also had TiVo expert Dave Zatz. Who's been following the company as long as anyone we know. We went a little long and deviated off topic into the land of Media Center a few times, but overall there is some podcast gold in here -- if we can say so ourselves.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 LawlerGuests: Nilay Patel, Paul Miller and Dave ZatzProducer: Trent WolbeProgram00:02:05 - TiVo Premiere and Premiere XL usher in a brand new interface, optional QWERTY remote00:23:15 - TiVo Premiere hands-on (update: video!) 00:47:00 - Oops: TiVo Premiere won't have Comcast On Demand01:33:10 - Poll: So what's your reaction to the TiVo Premiere?

Although we had fun getting a new perspective from a third voice last week, its good to be back to our regular show as we try to predict what TiVo is going to announce tonight. Next up is the latest preview of the FCC's plan to bring broadband to everyone -- with a little help from the TV spectrum. Meanwhile some can't wait to get HDMI on the Mac Mini, while others couldn't care less. And we still love some 3D, but don't like the $150 price point on the glasses. Finally we talk the Olympics, Avner from Boxee on the Engadget Show and Cablevision's new PC to TV Media Relay.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 WolbeProgram01:26 - TiVo Premiere, XL DVRs show up in Best Buy systems for $299, $499; due March 2707:40 - FCC's Genachowski previews broadband plan, demands half gigahertz of spectrum for the task13:44 - Broadcasters may have to pay extra for the right to deliver Mobile DTV20:10 - Apple rumored to be readying Mac mini with HDMI30:24 - Samsung's new 3DTVs get an early eyes-on, through $150 shutter glasses36:27 - Samsung's first Full HD 3D TV now available in the US, all 55 inches of it37:55 - Sony Style stores proclaimed 3D ready, are you?40:34 - NBC turns off the tape delay, will air Men's Hockey final live in all time zones Sunday52:34 - The Engadget Show - 00657:50 - Cablevision's new 'PC to TV Media Relay' slings PC media to your cable box, fuzzy on the details LISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)

Another week, another breaking news item just in time for us to discuss on the podcast and weren't we lucky to have Home Media Magazine's Chris Tribbey filling in the third seat this week to try and make sense of Wal-mart's purchase of VUDU. Other industry shakeups include the Redbox & Warner deal, Sezmi's retail launch and possible release dates for Avatar on Blu-ray disc. After that we dig into whether HDMI 1.3 will support 3D, the future for Media Center Extenders, some TiVo news and finally what's wrong with the Olympics and why NBC doesn't care what you or we think.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 LawlerGuest: Chris Tribbey, Home Media MagazineProducer: Trent WolbeProgram 00:01:35 - Wal-Mart buying Vudu streaming movie service? 00:07:25 - Redbox to delay renting Warner movies in return for lower costs and access to Blu-ray 00:19:34 - Sezmi launches $20 per month cable/satellite alternative today in L.A. 00:28:40 - James Cameron sees Avatar on Blu-ray 3D in November, HDTV manufacturers mark their calendars 00:37:45 - Sony's Blu-ray players do 3D in 1080p even with HDMI 1.3 00:48:03 - Extenders for Media Center aren't dead, they just seem like it 00:56:48 - TiVo granted patent on recording Season Pass subscriptions by priority 01:02:23 - TiVo wonders why cable wants TV Everywhere, except on a TiVo 01:05:45 - How does NBC justify tape delaying the Olympics?

What seemed like a slow week ended up giving us plenty to talk about, which is mostly because of the Olympics. This excitement was despite the fact that NBC tape delays -- do we still call it that when we know there are no tapes involved? -- too much, and in some cases everything, and the fact that the interactive features leave a lot to be desired. We eventually move on and talk streaming from Netflix and EPIX, and how low our expectations are for TiVo's announcement in a few weeks. Of course we talk a little 3D and how much cheaper it is than most thought it'd be, and finally we move on to fun things like law suits, wireless HDMI and spectrum buy back options.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 WolbeProgram00:37 - Comments from Engadget HD Podcast 177 - 2.9.2009 04:43 - Hands-on with the interactive Olympics and web videos28:23 - Netflix: lack of HD streaming 'no loss' for Wii owners29:40 - EPIX brings movie streaming to mobiles courtesy of Adobe's Open Screen Project35:00 - New UI, tweaked hardware in store for TiVo's March reveal?44:00 - Samsung's 3D HDTVs arrive February 26, starting at just under $2,00047:05 - Sony's $200 BDP-S470 is company's first 3D-ready Blu-ray player49:15 - PS3 3D video output turns up in 3.20 debug firmware51:07 - DirecTV suing Dish Network over Why Pay More ads, says there's plenty of reasons55:55 - Ask Engadget HD: Is there a good wireless HDMI option yet?58:24 - Spectrum cash-out option might still be on the table for FCC, broadcasters LISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)

Leading off the podcast this week is breaking Netflix Watch Instantly news (only to find out after recording that 5.1 and closed captioning features would be available this year, but not 1080p) before trying to figure out exactly what Comcast was thinking with its new Xfinity brand name. After that we get elbow deep in the NBC/Boxee standoff, even more Netflix numbers and Blu-ray player sales projections. Of course we've got some 3D news from the last few weeks to recap, from the HDMI spec going public to Comcast's 3D efforts, Sky's inaugural soccer broadcast and Samsung's BD-C6900 showing up momentarily on Amazon. Of course we had to discuss Panasonic's plasma revelations, before closing out with the new (& cheap) ATI HTPC video card and a few poll results.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 WolbeProgram00:01:25 - 1080p, 5.1 surround sound coming to Netflix Watch Instantly in 2010?

No guests this week, but there's still plenty of HD related topics to talk about. Of course that includes 3D, but after that we had time to discuss a new Blu-ray player from Oppo, future possibilities for digital distribution and exactly what we're expecting from NBC's costly Winter Olympics coverage. After that the talk turns to the legal aspects of the latest action from the FCC, and Microsoft's patent infringement lawsuit. We wrap things up with an evaluation of DirecTV's multiroom beta, and just what happened to all the hype over connected HDTVs in 2010.

Engadget HD Podcast 175: Interview about the future of 3D cable TV - 01.22.2010
If you can't get enough information about 3D then you're going to love this special edition of the Engadget HD Podcast. We give Bob Wilson, the VP of Network video solutions group at Motorola a call. He tells us all about what Motorola is doing to help cable companies get ready for 3D programming. Among other things, we discuss why side by side will be the initial transmission technique of choice, but that eventually full 1080p 3D should be a reality via cable. We ask him about a few other related topics like why more cable companies haven't started using H.264 and how long he thinks all of this will take to make it into our homes.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 LawlerGuest: Bob Wilson, VP Networked video solutions group at MotorolaProducer: Trent WolbeProgramLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)

To make things more interesting though we brought on a guest, Jeremy Toeman, who although agrees shares many of our same values, thinks Blu-ray is floundering -- you can just imagine where this discussion goes. After we get back to the normally schedule program, we cover the funny Lexicon Blu-ray story, as well as Disney and Netflix, Comcast's ugly new guide, and the cold fusion equivalent of the HDTV industry.

Unfortunately an audio glitch stole away some quality 3D discussion right around the middle, but even if we don't make it home from Vegas, allow these surviving elements to be our last report, at least until tomorrow.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 WolbeProgram01:20 - Eyes-on with DirecTV 3D10:24 - Toshiba BDX3000 Blu-ray player does 3D, BDX2700 and BDX2500 do... other stuff11:23 - Toshiba's Cell TV hands-on at CES13:46 - XstreamHD actually available for pre-order16:10 - Netflix bends over, agrees to delay renting Warner DVDs19:28 - VUDU coming to Sharp, Toshiba, adds tons of new apps21:49 - Dish takes Sling's new boxes for its own TV Everywhere in 201025:51 - Hands-on with the Boxee Box29:12 - Windows 7 Media Center gets Mediaroom support32:11 - Ceton's quad CableCARD tuner for Windows Media Center gets a price34:08 - HDHomeRun with CableCARD coming to CES35:37 - Broadcom and RVU alliance tout new chips and demosLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)
Engadget HD Podcast 169 - CES 2010 expectations
The most wonderful week of the year for gadget lovers is upon us so we decided what better way to tame our anticipation then to dream a little and discuss our expectations for CES 2010. While some are obvious like 3D and mobile DTV, others like TiVo, MoCA and bigger, cheaper HDTVs aren't as certain. And of course nothing is as much fun as making fun of our dashed dreams by talking up vapor ware of year's past. So if you can't wait to hear what's new in 2010, tune in and be sure to let us know what we missed. Get the podcast [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Engadget HD Podcast 168 - 12.22.2009
If you love 3D then you're going to love this episode and if not, you might just want to skip to the 37 minute mark and skip all the parts where we go crazy talking about Avatar, (spoiler warning) the Blu-ray 3D spec and 3D at home in general. After all the 3D buzz is done, we move on to the FiOS Super Headend tour as well why the DirecTV TiVo might not be that great and finally the new Fancast Xfinity TV and a little spat between TWC and Fox.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 WolbeProgram 00:45 - Comments from Engadget HD Podcast 16704:30 - So are you headed to the theater to see Avatar?20:30 - Blu-ray 3D specifications finalized, your PS3 is ready26:58 - 3D capable Blu-ray players coming as soon as Q2 2010?30:17 - Sony teams up with RealD for 3D, headaches in the home34:40 - Ask Engadget HD: Does Dolby, RealD or someone else offer the best 3D movie theater experience?37:17 - An inside look at a Verizon FiOS Super Headend and Video Hub44:41 - New DirecTV TiVo HD due in the Spring of 201046:44 - Comcast On Demand Online renamed Fancast Xfinity TV, now streaming nationwide53:38 - Time Warner, Fox trade shots on who to blame when you can't see the bowl gamesLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)
Engadget HD Podcast 167 - 12.16.2009
Scheduling forced this slightly-delayed edition to be a throwback podcast without a live audience in the UStream chat, but we still found plenty to discuss. From Nielsen numbers to the freshly unveiled Boxee Box and the latest in CableCARD in tru2way news. We discuss the failure of the Cowboys Stadium "3D" experience and why it shouldn't affect your view of upcoming technology, plus what's new in discs: Blu-ray/DVD combos, trade in programs and free VOD offers. Closing this week out is a look at the latest wireless HD contender and the most premium HDMI cable ever made.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 WolbeProgram 00:00:53 - Nielsen Three Screen Report: 99 percent of video still viewed on a TV00:09:40 - Boxee Box pictured in the wild: it's small!00:18:56 - Panasonic to make Boston the fourth tru2way market00:27:10 - Are CableCARD tuners for Media Center sold out everywhere?00:32:36 - Firewire's future on DVRs is up for debate00:42:39 - Cowboys Stadium 3D scoreboard experiment doesn't go so well, turned off in less than seven minutes00:49:37 - Bourne DVD / Blu-ray combo boxes are incredibly descriptive00:57:17 - Poll: Do you plan on participating in a DVD to Blu-ray trade-in?01:02:25 - Amazon's Disc+ program tosses in a free VOD with your Blu-ray or DVD01:10:29 - WiGig Alliance completes multi-gigabit 60GHz wireless specification: let the streaming begin01:15:07 - Wireworld's Platinum Starlight HDMI cable is only $1,000, better than your HDMI cableLISTEN (MP3)LISTEN (AAC)LISTEN (OGG)
