FiOS TV expansions: August 23, 2009 {Engadget HD}

TWC adds a fresh dozen HD channels in parts of West LA {Engadget HD}
Aug 15th 2008 10:29AM If TWC is using SDV to squeeze out a few more HD channels, a number of issues are still present...
* How do they get more channels out of the measly 500MHz system. That's right, they don't, unless they either rebuild the system to 1GHz or 3GHz or they kill off the analog channels. As it relates to the latter, it is just another short term band-aid. Given TWC's lack of timeliness, how long do you think it will take for them to get around to those?
* TWC still over-re-compresses the signal resulting in buffer issues, mosquito noise, banding, and a major loss of detail.
* The TWC STB is a royal POS. A whopping 250GB hard drive so you can record 10 shows in HD. Nothing like the box locking up everyday. And I just love all those home integration features. NOT!

Apple TV, take 2 brings HD movie rentals to the living room {Engadget HD}
Jan 15th 2008 2:01PM Keep in mind that the technical specs of the box have not changed. Only the firmware has changed. As such, we are still stuck with 720p@24fps. It can not do 720p60 nor any 1080 resolution.
