Wow that took me awhile. I wondered why all the company names were laid out so weird. They're laid out to spell HD. lol, I get stuff. ]]>May 31st 2010 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/Wow, I hadn't noticed till you said that :P]]>Jun 4th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/May 31st 2010 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/May 31st 2010 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/May 31st 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/May 31st 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/May 31st 2010 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/May 31st 2010 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/Jun 1st 2010 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/May 31st 2010 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/May 31st 2010 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/
Well its a result of the providers we have. Richard has Comcast while I have FiOS. Back when I had DirecTV and Kevin had Dish Network we covered them more. Sorry we cover every provider in as much detail.]]>May 31st 2010 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/
There is nothing more frustrating than watching a live sports game and missing a touchdown. Or even worse...you come back from dinner and watch a recording and every 15min there's a 2min piece missing.

I've had tons of friends with satellite and although it's cheaper and better, they all have experienced this usually on a daily basis. So I wish I could have reliable satellite, but it doesn't seem to work too well here. :(]]>Jun 1st 2010 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/ I agree with your statements 100% tluhl87. I have DirectTV here in nice Pasadena,CA. That being said, I get 82 OTA HD channels in Windows 7 Media Center. I listen to Richard and Ben's podcast and they are in the wrong market in my opinion. I also have Netflix streaming HD and most of the HD shows such as HD Nation and other podcasts are all out her on the beautiful West Coast. Therefore, we don't have
to worry about unfavorable weather
conditions as well. They really need to
come out this way see how much the West Coast offers with a plethora of services. Ben and Richard, brung you behinds out here for
a show or two and get a vibe of what's in Cali
baby. The home of tech and Silicon Valley. ]]>Jun 1st 2010 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/May 31st 2010 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/
I agree, and I use OTA mostly, but also have FiOS. But our poll app only lets you make one selection. ]]>May 31st 2010 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/
Sky+HD (satellite TV in the UK, pay-for)
The Internet (not entirely legal, free)
Xbox Live Marketplace (Zune rentals, though I've only used it once so far due to the price, it's dead easy)
Blu-ray Disc (my favourite method. 40Mbit 1080p makes me happy)]]>May 31st 2010 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/May 31st 2010 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/May 31st 2010 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/May 31st 2010 11:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/Jun 1st 2010 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/
I decide to watch an HD movie I find on Comcast's Free HD movies. It's in my basement with my projector which is around a 200in screen so it has to be 720p/1080i for it to look anywhere half decent.

So I start it up and I realize the "HD" movie not only was 4:3 but seemed to be something close to 480p...which was unbearable.

I fired up Netflix on my 360 and found the same movie on there in beautiful 1080i widescreen. So why do I even bother with HD over Comcast when most of it isn't even HD?]]>Jun 1st 2010 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/
Internet is way too slow to watch HD content....]]>Jun 1st 2010 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/
And before everyone jumps down my throat for this, I'm not saying that what I'm doing, everyone should be doing. I realize the economics of the situation and for the artists, produces, actors, musicians, etc to make money. Yes, in order for them to make money, the evil **AA companies make money as well. Also, I make enough money that it isn't going to break my bank to pay for CDs and movies every once in awhile. Also, Netflix has opened up an inexpensive way for me to watch movies that I want to watch only once without having to buy them (costs money to me) or download them (illegal). It's just a personal choice and I've chosen to do this based upon my logic and I don't look down on people that continue to download media through torrent sites. ]]>Jun 1st 2010 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/I totally agree JasterMereel42. That's just
about how I get my content. I'm not utilizing a torrent, but lets just say a torrent doesn't
exist. What the MPAA and music industry doesn't
realize is that in personal opinion they started losing money with advent of the cd/DVD/blu-Ray
burner. I won't down those same leechers and seeders from torrants as well. But one consumer can purchase a cd from Target for instance and
burn 20 copies to friends. That's where they lose the money in my honest opinion. A bit off topic, but agree totally.

I think what Richard and Ben need to also talk about the expenses as well for HDedia. You're paying a sattelite/cable company, Netflix, now Hulu soon....Just think, I like the one thing free: OTA. This crap is getting expensive and I think Richard and Ben need to talk the other guy they had on the show last week about how he is fairing with no satellite or cable service. He seemed to be getting by and they completely swept that topic under the rug. That's just my opinion though and I fully respect yours and
others. ]]>Jun 1st 2010 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/
Any thoughts?]]>Jun 1st 2010 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/Jun 1st 2010 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/
...but DirecTV eeks out just a little bit over Netflix 'Watch Instantly'. Next would be "HD" podcasts via AppleTV/iTunes, then my weekly Blu-Ray (Netflix) fix. Blu-ray's (mine or rented) happen a max of wice per week for me.]]>Jun 1st 2010 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/Jun 2nd 2010 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/ $600 / yr then more power to ya. If you time-shift OTA and have Netflix ($16.99) you should have MORE than enough to keep you busy. ]]>Jun 3rd 2010 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/poll-whats-your-primary-source-of-hd/
TV series: interweb (I'm not waiting months/years for awesome series like SoA, spartacus, fringe, etc, to make their way across the pond to the UK), but legal content as well (BBC iplayer, etc)

Sports: FreesatHD when it's available (champions league at 1080i? hell yes. worldcup at 1080i? yes thank you very much. Sky go f*** your overpriced self)]]>Jun 6th 2010 3:13PM
