Bob Barker does TV PSA, doesn't involve spaying or neutering

Jul 30th 2008 3:52PM on Engadget HD

Er...does this mean the PSA is about saving guinea pigs from evil children or that the people of Wilmington get to see what it's like to be a test subject?

Denon adds DVD-1800BD Blu-ray player to lineup

May 23rd 2008 3:49PM on Engadget HD

I'm guessing Bluray doesn't expect me to jump in this fall. Or this year. The funny part is that I'd like to, player price permitting, if only to Netflix BD movies. I love the hell out of the quality of HD-DVD movies and I'm not too proud to watch a BD movie. Still, I want it to be a 2.0 player. I can't help but think the network "update-ability" would be an important factor given how crappy most BD players operate.

AT&T celebrates one year of U-verse in Los Angeles, California

May 21st 2008 4:07PM on Engadget HD

Hey, I'm getting ready to celebrate two weeks since my escape from TWC, now with Uverse in the L.A. area, so they can celebrate anything they want.

And their SD picture is so much better than TWC's I don't really sweat the single HD stream "problem". Still, two would be even sweeter.

SportsCenter changes up the formula starting August 11

May 16th 2008 10:06AM on Engadget HD

Really, it's about time. Not being able to get complete scores for even Central time zone games, not to mention Pacific, has rendered Sportscenter almst insignificant. If I have to spend the early morning digging around the internet fo rscores there's no reason to have an incomplete rerun/loop of Sporscenter playing in the background.

TWC readies 12 new HD channels for Southern California

May 14th 2008 1:20PM on Engadget HD

Personally, I'd treat this promise like vaporware. That way if they ever do show up it will be a pleasant surprise. The system around my house in the San Fernando Valley needed all new switching. God knows how long that was going to take. I finally gave up on them.

TWC readies 12 new HD channels for Southern California

May 14th 2008 10:04AM on Engadget HD

Yeah, new channels are nice and all. I may live in the effected area but I'm still glad I dropped TW and went to Uverse last weekend. Getting these channels, and more, right now is better than maybe getting these channels...someday. And cheaper.

Sorry, TW. I was forced to stay with you for a long time but there's a new kid in town and you haven't reacted quickly enough.

TWC gets official with Navigator rollout in Raleigh, NC: hands-on

May 1st 2008 3:51PM on Engadget HD

Yup, using the new and "improved" interface is not what you'd hope for. My biggest complaint is loss of certain functionality in the name of making it more, er, "user friendly."

I wish I could have gotten my old box back but it doesn't matter now. As of May 10 I'm a U-verse subscriber (Sorry TimeWarner and, by extension, EngadgetHD). More HD content would have been nice here in SoCal.

Blu-ray releases on April 29th, 2008

"Battle." Uh-huh. I'm not so sure if The Amber Spyglass, as a book, gets classified as a "battle" in the same way that The Return of the King gets classified, to me, as a "battle." Maybe "struggle" would work better.

The 6th Day's BD-Live features get shown off on PS3

Apr 10th 2008 3:53PM on Engadget HD

Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't this the same exact feature that was nothing but lame when it was on HD-DVD? I'm confused.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
