Ask Engadget HD: Should the FCC kill DTV for better technology?

Nov 15th 2009 10:29PM on Engadget HD

A good alternative may be to toss a bird up in the sky and offer free TV through a government run satellite service. Coupon programs could be created to lessen the cost of such a transition to the masses, just as they did during the digital transition, and apartment owners could be mandated to wire their buildings up for gov't satellite service.

That is, of course, if any of this is really necessary, if there's any real advantage to killing DTV, and assuming that the spectrum would be used for good and not for evil.

Comcast TV Everywhere launch details: December, free for existing subs, really goes anywhere

Nov 14th 2009 11:19AM on Engadget HD

I'm fairly certain that they removed that cap in most markets. When I signed on, I made certain that they didn't have one here. What they do here is just slow the piss out of your internet connection if you download too much during daytime hours. Annoying, but fair.

MPAA still trying to close the analog hole: Now with new, more inane arguments

Sep 6th 2009 3:18AM on Engadget HD

Didn't I see a converter on here a while back that will take HDMI and toss out component? If I recall correctly, the little thing even had HDCP support. There is no way to close the analog hole, and even if they did, who pirates that way anyway? That crap ended when VHS died. Everyone pirates digitally now. When will these people take their thumbs out of their brown holes and realize that things dont work the way they want them to work, no matter how much they want them to?

YouTube looking to enter rental movies on demand business, says WSJ

Sep 2nd 2009 6:41PM on Engadget HD

Someone needs to realize that these services are not going to work, and adding another is just going to complicate things. Youtube should try to steal some business from netflix and introduce "Youtube Pro" where you can pay a flat fee to be able to watch a huge library of movies, and pay a slightly higher fee for new releases. If such a service existed, I'd wager that a good deal of people would ditch their cable subscriptions in favor of just using that. I would.

Amazon & iTunes drop digital download prices. Still cost too much

Sep 1st 2009 2:05PM on Engadget HD

The collection factor is a huge deal for me, too when it comes to blu ray purchases, and I know I am not alone in this. I love having a huge shelf of movies and knowing each is perfect. Digital downloads just aren't as fun, because in order to show that shit off I have to open up a DD box, navigate to a menu, etc.

Also, why the fuck would I pay 20 bucks for a download when I can just get the same thing off bittorrent for free? Often with better quality too.

Possible Palm Pre, Eos, Storm 2, and more revealed in Verizon database

When is my android phone coming? I don't want a pre or any other palm/windows POS. I want me some android.

The next Batman flick could be all-IMAX

Aug 26th 2009 8:24PM on Engadget HD

People like you shouldn't even be allowed to HAVE opinions. Bale is better by far than any other batman to date, and ledger's portrayal of the joker will go down in history as one of the greatest performances of all time.

Onkyo's top-end TX-NRx007 receivers land stateside

Aug 24th 2009 5:09PM on Engadget HD

Onkyo pwns. I love my TX-SR606 more than life itself. Gets hot enough to fry a squirrel, but if you put it on the top of your system, you're good to go.

Media Center DISH Network tuner is on hold indefinitely

Wow, big deal. Another MS only tuner gets canned. Watch as I cry. Let's talk linux tuners...

Fox and Warner want 30 day kiosk rental windows, maybe Netflix too

Aug 15th 2009 5:43PM on Engadget HD

JDS, let's not forget that blockbuster is in serious financial trouble. You might have faith in the way they do business, but few others do.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
