We're not sure what to tell everyone other than we have been spending too much time watching HDTV and not enough time doing the EngadgetHD Podcast. Actually we wish that were the case, the truth is we just haven't been able to make it happen the last few weeks, we've either had conflicting schedules or technical difficulties, but when the going gets tough we get going and you can bet all the money in the world that on next Wednesday there will be a new Podcast. We promise!
We were wonderin'. But I think we all realize that you guys are married now and have a young one and one on the way. But the show is a highlight of the week. Just glad to hear that things are well.
Ditto... I thought you guys were canned or something because even the daily posts have not been by Ben nor Matt in quite a while. I only wish this type of message were up the first weekend the first podcast was missed. Can we get a semi-promise from you guys that if podcasts are to be missed that something be posted sooner??? God this is like withdrawal or something. Not good!
Oh hell it's fantastic!!!
Well, that only means the next podcast is going to be like 90 minutes long to make up for all this ground missed over 3 weeks. Shweet!!!
I was getting worried as well. Post on the site have not been as numerous as they were in the past (figured it could just be slow) but no podcast 2 weeks in a row?!? I can relate to that space time warp phenomenon called marriage. I recently got married and it seems like all of my time is taken up. Work, home, work, home. At least I can fit a HDTV showing or two in between.
This next podcast better break an hour!
Come on Ben I expect some better spelling from you.........:)
Glad everything is going alright. I was kinda hoping you were upgrading the feeds cause Itunes gave an error once on download.
I totally identify with the time vanishing phenomenon of marriage and then a kid. After our son was born it was like what the heck did we do that we thought we were busy?
If only they had HD while I was in college.
I was more curious about why the list of Weblogs, Inc. sites on the right has reverted to the old "HD Beat" name instead of "Engadget HD".
One topic that I would like to hear mentioned in your next podcast is the huge outcry that has occurred with DirecTV's rollout of the 6.3a software for the HD TiVo. An enormous number of people, myself included, are experiencing 10 second audio dropouts (mutes) on OTA channels, most often with FOX stations. Why it affects FOX more than others is not known, but the other channels are not totally immune either. It varies from city to city.
I was so annoyed by this that I reformatted my TiVo drive and rolled back to the old (3.1.5f) software. That fixed it.
Much more about this can be found over in the TiVo Community Forums (more than any human could ever read!)
I think you guys missed announcing your Nov 1 podcast. At least its not on the podcast link. I subscribe through itunes, so I got it, but if others don't subscribe they may not know it is out there.
Here we go again... no PODCAST for 2 weeks... NO MESSAGE to tell us to GET BENT AND STOP CHECKING FOR ONE. Nothing!!!
Well, here's what MY GUT is telling me, it's telling me that a power struggle is going on since ENGADGET took the helm of HD BEAT. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm sticking to my instincts.
I live in the UK and really look forward to the podcasts. Where the hell are they? Like Steve, I'm wondering if something's up! There appear to have been problems ever since the podcasts went over to engadget. Come on, I need my FIX!
