Netherlands' SBS seeking nominal yearly fees to pay for HD broadcasts {Engadget HD}
Jan 15th 2009 10:32AM I am from the Netherlands, but i do pay a subscription fee to watch analog cable. Its 15 euros. To watch digital cable i have to pay for a seperate package. To watch digital cable HDTV theres is an additional package. So if SBS decides that they also need money than i think i pay about 40euros total to watch their programming in HD.

Here in the Netherlands since this week we have the Neverending story 1 on blu-ray released by Dutch Film Works. The transfer is however not without flaws. At the start of the movie you see a lot of white specs and scratches. Also the sound is only DTS 5.1 (not the HD kind). However i enyoyed the movie.
Official Sony external hard drives a possibility {Joystiq Playstation}
May 10th 2008 1:48AM Guys, the 2,5inch 400gig and 500gig from Hitachi are not going to fit into the PS3 because of the height. The mobile drives are offered in different height sizes. Standard is 9,5mm but Hitachi offers these 400gig and 500gig models slightly bigger. I was also looking at a bigger drive and stumbled on this limitation.
Sony releases v3.90 firmware for BDP-S300 Blu-ray player {Engadget HD}
May 9th 2008 7:58AM It's a pity this player doesn't decode the TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio like its cousin the PS3 can. I couldn't wait for the s350 and s550, so i bought the PS3 instead. Would be nice if the TrueHD is in this firmware.

Firmware update cures auto off issue in Samsung 650 LCD HDTVs {Engadget HD}
May 9th 2008 7:53AM In Europe the Samsung 40F71 suffered from the lack of no 1:1 pixelmapping. A new firmware was released, but normally you need to contact Samsung and they will sent a technician. However the instructions to build a cable, the flash program and the firmware were released on the internet soon after. I build the cable myself and flashed my TV with no problem at all. The cable plugins into a special service hole on the back.
