Studios didnt have their new pilots in time and had to rely on renewing questionable shows and using scripts for pilots that were already done.]]>Sep 17th 2008 4:44PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/17/engadget-hd-podcast-102-09-17-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/17/engadget-hd-podcast-102-09-17-2008/
I really liked House until the whole shooter storyline took over. It really comes down to how much of the show is about the characters and how much is about the main point of the show.]]>Sep 17th 2008 4:47PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/17/engadget-hd-podcast-102-09-17-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/17/engadget-hd-podcast-102-09-17-2008/
Could your post the shows you are looking forward to watch this fall? I am too lazy to write down your list by listening to the podcast again...(podcast re-runs are no fun)-- Plus, I think it could help a couple other people out whose media center listing was lost since the summer TV Pack update. Thanks!]]>Sep 17th 2008 6:45PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/17/engadget-hd-podcast-102-09-17-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/17/engadget-hd-podcast-102-09-17-2008/
I don't want to spend the money on a good HDMI amplifier because I don't think I'll need it once I upgrade my receiver. Like many people, I'm still using a perfectly good 3 year old unit that only has component outputs. I use it strictly for audio switching\amplification. As soon as I upgrade to an HDMI receiver, I'll be passing the output of my scalar through it. I'm optimistic that the receiver will boost the output just enough to eliminate the sparkles.

A reasonably priced wireless HDMI solution would be a nice alternative for people like me who have challenging installation issues.

I honestly didn't even realize Spike had an HD channel. I'll have to check around for the HD listings for that.

That's how it works for DVDs anyways, the Redboxes in my area don't have blu-ray discs, so I have no idea if it works the same way for Blu-ray. At least the last time I checked they didn't. I stopped renting after I purchased a PS3... ]]>Sep 22nd 2008 10:27AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/17/engadget-hd-podcast-102-09-17-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/17/engadget-hd-podcast-102-09-17-2008/http://www.redbox.com/Help/Faq.aspx

I checked multiple redbox locations in Kansas City this weekend and none of them had Blu-ray. Couldn't find anything about Blu-ray on the redbox.com website either so it must be just a trial-run in select locations.]]>Sep 22nd 2008 12:11PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/17/engadget-hd-podcast-102-09-17-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/17/engadget-hd-podcast-102-09-17-2008/Sep 22nd 2008 8:32PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/17/engadget-hd-podcast-102-09-17-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/17/engadget-hd-podcast-102-09-17-2008/this is the best TV that ever came out. This TV is not HD, it's beyond HD. This is the closest thing to reality. Actually, it is better than reality because of the more vibrant colors. Thanks to the 120hz and Perfect Pixel Engine, the picture on this TV can not be described by anyone and must be seen. I bought it yesterday without even seeing what it can do (just liked the specs) and was not only impressed, but was scratching my head all day trying to figure out how is it possible to get this good of a picture out of TV. i am not sure if anyone has seen it, buut it is hard to find it on display. Don't buy this TV if you don't have the Blu-Ray player, because this is where it shines. Put in any Blu-Ray movie and stand back 6-7 feet (this is a must) and the way you watch TV will change forever. I never thought that Philips could do it, I was thinking Samsung or Sony, but this is the TV to buy today. I was blown away by the pop and realism. It will make your DVDs look like Blu-Ray but will not have the same in your face effect. The movies on this Philips do not look like movies, but real life, really as if you are there. I've seen Sony and Samsung, but it is the sharpness that I am talikng about. My wife said she could never watch a horror movie on it because she would not sleep for days. This is the way movies are supposed to be seen, and the way director wanted you to see it. Anyway, have you guys checked it out and if not please do.]]>Sep 23rd 2008 12:33AM
