Niveus Search brings unified searches to Vista Media Center {Engadget HD}
Sep 28th 2008 3:21AM You appear to have missed the part that this beta software is timebombed to only work for 60 days, so a download for other than Niveus machine won't do you much good come December.
60 Minutes pulls out the HDTV cams for Obama & McCain Sunday {Engadget HD}
Sep 17th 2008 8:52PM My bet? Football game will run late so this will actually not be at 7:00pm.
Cablevision trumpets 60 HD channels, DirecTV / Verizon chuckle {Engadget HD}
Jul 29th 2008 12:09AM Cablevision may have some issues, but they do at least have 15 Voom Channels that NO ONE else in America has. In fact, name another provider that has even 3 HD Channels no other providers in America has access to.
Voom might not be HDNET, but its sure a far cry better than Lifetime Movies or some of the other "HD" Channels. What, you wanted QVC-HD instead?
CBS News fleshes out high-def plans {Engadget HD}
Jul 14th 2008 2:23AM "By default, I always go for an HD broadcast, regardless of what is on."
Too bad that this isnt the norm. As has been noted over and over, HD has not been shown to be a winner in news ratings anywhere - and CBS needs all the help it can get in that area.
NBC was the #1 Nightly News Program when it went to HD and quickly became #2 to ABC. Not that HD caused the decline, but again, as has been proven, there is no influx of ratings due to HD.
DISH Network's EchoStar XI lifts off on July 15th {Engadget HD}
Jul 10th 2008 2:20PM Given the collection of failing space junk that Dish now owns in orbit, which piece of junk is this bird replacing? As it is being launched with the telemetry shown in the post, clearly they must have made some decision where it is planning to end up.
Mitsubishi's LaserVue 65-inch and 75-inchers due this fall {Engadget HD}
Jun 25th 2008 1:57AM 200% Color Gamut - Hype, unless you don't want to conform to REC 709.
The key thing that people better realize is that the colormeters that most people (including ISF techs) use are not going to work well with this technology.
A SpectroRadiometer (and not a SpectroPhotometer) is about the only way to calibrate this technology properly.
Bright House launches 4 new HD channels in Tampa, Florida {Engadget HD}
Jun 18th 2008 5:28PM it might not be an SDV launch, but none of the 4 channels listed here - nor even 709, are showing up on cablecard equiped sets.
THX to release Optimizer Blu-ray disc {Engadget HD}
May 15th 2008 8:24PM Despite claims of cash is king, no product ever submitted for THX certification has passed on the initial tests - additional mods and testing have been done on every product that bears the certification.
DISH Network's CEO admits to "missing the HD window" last year {Engadget HD}
May 14th 2008 6:32PM That's the difference in having a real plan - like Directv did - and trying to hobble together space junk thrown all over the sky between 61.5 West and 148 West.
Nice Strategy Charlie!
The lack of long term strategic planning falls squarely on your shoulders - as most classy execs were shown the door (or couldn't stand you) long ago.
Now its time to pay the piper.
DISH Network suffers 90% drop in subscriber growth during Q1 {Engadget HD}
May 13th 2008 12:44AM So you are admitting you were wrong on 5-5-2008 when you stated "If we had to guess, we'd say satellite / fiber are beginning to eat away at the coax-laden mothership."
Seem a satellite was not the only thing that Dish lost in Q1.
