Jan 12th 2009 6:42PM I got a basic Crestron system recently, but thats because I install them. I did however get an iPhone because of the Crestron App thats coming soon...
ATMC Cable throws in CNBC HD / Bravo HD, makes the big guys look bad {Engadget HD}
Jul 22nd 2008 6:54AM Honestly, this means nothing to me. I need to know what the compression rates are. carrying HD channels isnt anything special if they look like ass. cable providers are focused on Docsis 3.0 and waiting to see what happens with SDV before they really launch more. Cable companies make more money on their internet/phone products than they do on cable. so its not their main priority.
Versus and Golf HD get their own channel, and E! HD on the way {Engadget HD}
Jun 21st 2008 6:34AM E! HD would only be good for The Soup. However, mostly it would waste bandwidth. instead, I suggest the Soup in HD on VOD instead.

British regulators move to quiet obnoxiously loud commercials {Engadget HD}
May 18th 2008 5:24PM as for as I'm aware, In the US. its up to the stations to regulate the sound. they can be fined. you just have to complain to the mighty FCC and likely in great numbers.
Poll: Do you have a multi-channel surround sound system? {Engadget HD}
May 11th 2008 7:53AM As a cable technician, I meet lots of meatheads who think they have surround systems. But alas, they use stereo analog inputs and think they have it working. the worst is when they have shitty a shitty Bose 3-2-1 rig. I just cringe inside and change the subject, most importantly, Ive learned not to try to educate the person, it opens a can of worms.
its not my job to fix their surround sound. theres an important lesson here its called RTFM (read the fucking manual). That being said, I currently have 2 surround sound systems. one in my bedroom and one in the living room. neither one are HTIB.
Oprah Winfrey gets her own channel, will simulcast in HD {Engadget HD}
Jan 16th 2008 6:39AM My wife is going to be pissed. She loves the Discovery Health channel.
TiVo Series3 and HD FINALLY get TiVoToGo, MRV, eSATA drive, other new features {Engadget HD}
Oct 23rd 2007 9:33AM My guess is that TiVo is releasing these updated features to distinguish its own branded hardware Vs. the Comcast/Cox TiVo software upgrades that will be rolling out very soon (which I doubt will have any of those features).
Comcast begins long-awaited rollout of TiVo set-top-box {Engadget}
Oct 13th 2007 6:30AM You need a new box. shutting the box off shouldn't do any of those things, I have 5 dvr's at my house and non of them do those things. at least not in New England. trust me, I'm a Comcast tech. but honestly, I'm not a fan of our dvr software. I cant wait for the TiVo software upgrade, I wasn't fortunate enough to be a part of the beta testing though, I just hope we didnt brand the hell out of it.
