Nielsen stats find 33% of U.S. households with at least one HDTV

May 22nd 2009 1:53PM on Engadget HD

Does that count the people that think they're seeing HD but don't have good enough eyes to tell that it's just stretched SD? What about the people that think they don't have HD programming but don't know that they can scan for clear QAM channels? I guess those numbers would probably cancel each other out, though!

Cable systems are not bound to the February 09 cutoff date for analog programming, but many *will* be switching off analog programming in the next year or two to save bandwidth for more HD channels. This will most likely require a converter box, which will most likely be provided by the cable company. This may vary from system to system, but one would hope there will be some new regulation similar to the old cable-ready regulations, where the QAM tuner in most digital TVs could be used instead of a box for channels beyond the locals.

Nintendo launches TV Guide Channel in Japan, enables Wiimote to control TV

The "sensor" bar is an IR emitter. It supposedly sends IR signals to the TV, although I would imagine it would have to be oriented in the other direction (or you'd need a mirror on your couch!)

Ask TUAW: Ripped DVDs in Front Row, Sleeping MacBook, game controllers, and more

Front Row in Leopard will apparently play VIDEO_TS folders natively so DVD Assist will no longer be needed. And as mentioned earlier, transcoding with Handbrake is not a solution to the OP's question as it reduces quality (as does any lossy encoding) and you lose the DVD menus and extras.

I'd like to be entered please. Thanks! :)

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!"
