Poll: Lost ends this weekend, are you ready?
Posted on May 22, 2010 | No Comments
It's been a long, strange road, but we're finally nearing the end. The series finale of Lost airs at 9 p.m. tomorrow (there's a "newly enhanced" version of the pilot airing tonight at 8, and a two hour event before the finale tomorrow at 7 p.m.) and we just want to know who is still on board. There's been Easter Eggs, time travel, more plot twists than we can count and ultimately many differing opinions on the quality of recent episodes, but we'll be in front of the TV tomorrow night (seriously, DVRing beyond a few minutes isn't really an option given the inevitability of spoilers.) Will you? Musical treat embedded after the break for true fans.

South Korea will be first to OTA 3DTV this month
Posted on May 11, 2010 | No CommentsSouth Korea will beat Australia to free OTA 3DTV broadcasts as several broadcasters will try out the technology starting with KBS May 19 during the 2010 Colorful Daegu Pre-Championships Meeting. We're not sure if that's soccer, a (potentially rigged) Starcraft match or what (it's a track meet), but it will be broadcast live in 3D, while SBS will air World Cup 2010 action in June. If you happen to be in Seoul and own a 3DTV then channel no. 66 is the one to watch for, but even if you don't, roll by Cheonggyecheon Stream Square and peep the action on a 600-inch 3D screen. 3ality Digital, who has handled so many sporting events stateside is participating, we're just hoping Fox (home of the 2011 Super Bowl) is paying attention.

CBS suits up, promises iPad-friendly HTML5 video for all content by this Fall
Posted on May 7, 2010 | No CommentsVisit CBS.com from your iPad right now and all you'll get is a full episode of Survivor and clips from various other shows. By the start of the Fall season, however, CBS Interactive SVP Anthony Soohoo is promising content parity between its Flash-based website and HTML5-compliant iPad portal. While on the subject, he also notes that the video strategy will be entirely web-based, with no plans for an app à la ABC Player. Flash isn't being subjected to a veritable slapsgiving, however, as it'll remain the desktop technology of choice. Soohoo notes HTML5's toolset for measurement and encryption isn't quite at the same level yet. Full video interview after the break, and iPad users? This fall, expect something quite legen -- oh, you know where we're going with this, but still we'll pause for dramatic effect -- dary.

Cablevision starts “limited deployment” of network DVR
Posted on May 4, 2010 | No Comments
The future has finally arrived, as New York-area Cablevision subscribers are getting their first taste of cloud based DVRs. Light Reading reports an email from spokesman Jim Maiella confirmed limited deployments which may be too late to securely record Lou Diamond Philips for our later viewing pleasure, but should quickly become more common as the cable company has already expressed plans to stop buying physical DVRs later this year. Even after legal entanglements have held things up for years we're not quite ready to switch away from local storage options yet, but any of you guinea pigs out there are more than welcome to share your opinions of it.Cablevision starts "limited deployment" of network DVR originally appeared on Engadget HD on Tue, 04 May 2010 14:47:00 EST.

Pac-10 refs will see HD instant replays this season, find a new reason for blowing big calls
Posted on May 3, 2010 | No Comments
Just like the Big Ten and SEC, Pac-10 schools will be upgrading to DVSport's HD Replay system for the 2010 football season. They got a trial run this past weekend at the Oregon spring football game, just a bit too late to give Oklahoma back the ball in one of the bigger instant replay officiating mistakes in history. Mountain West, Sun Belt, Conference USA -- you're on the clock.Pac-10 refs will see HD instant replays this season, find a new reason for blowing big calls originally appeared on Engadget HD on Mon, 03 May 2010 13:57:00 EST.
