Ill take it off your hands please.

TiVo HD upgrade program helps you save as much as $100

Jul 3rd 2009 7:28PM on Engadget HD

Could I transfer my current rate plan to a Tivo HD though? Through a long story, I pay only 5.95 per month for Tivo with a S2. Will I be able to get one of these HDs and continue at 5.95?

Is Netflix streaming an issue with some manufacturers? As in they are not allowed to do it?

I am not surprised. Like many exclusivity agreements on this generation of consoles, the standard period seems to be 6 months. Which is coming up soon.

Netflix lays out official response to bandwidth capping allegations

Mar 23rd 2009 4:31PM on Engadget

Part of the allegations are that the 360 is being favored at the expense of other devices (since MS supposedly hosts some of the stuff).

So his answer is basically, "we keep and serve different encodes of the material based on your device". Which can mean that they indeed serve better versions to various devices with no way to know what goes where.

I have tried a 360 and a PC side by side both plugged into the same router. The 360 gets better quality sometimes for no good reason. And I dont mean HD vs SD.

Geek Squad home theater setup horror story

Brad,

Someone like her could well have asked for the best installer, but she would have no clue if she actually got him/her to come out

Also, how can you tell if they did a good job if you are not tech savvy to begin with to do it yourself, what is a relatively simple job.

So while you may be correct in saying that not all GS installers are bad, from a consumer perspective, there is no way to know or verify that you got someone who knows that they are doing.

Epix (and it's Hollywood backers) looking to shake up premium cable

Mar 8th 2009 2:27PM on Engadget HD

so is this a premium channel like HBO and others?

An 1.50 per subscriber, is that really cheap? or will Comcast and others still charge us 15?

Can anyone explain how that works?

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!"
