10 of the worst scams, lies, and ripoffs surrounding HDTVs {Engadget HD}
Apr 28th 2008 5:50PM Not sure what his beef with HDMI is - it wasn't clean. Every now and then HDCP has been problematic, but typical stuff has been fine for me.
Regarding "fake HD channels" - should they just not broadcast during hours when they don't have new shows in HD? We're in a period of transition and some shows from years past are never going to be HD. But in many cases, the content outweight the resolution. Perhaps, he'd feel better if they were presented in 4:3 and folks could choose to scale or not scale. The uninitiated probably prefer the scaling over bars though...
The biggest scam is the broadcasters being forced off NTSC so they could sell the bandwidth for a ton of dough. A lot of people are probably buying new TVs who may not have chosen to do so on their own and may not completely understand the transition.

Feb 12th 2008 11:38PM Cory, what kind of broadband connection/speeds do you have where you filmed this? Wondering if the slow television show thumbnail images are Apple/Apple TV or your connectivity.
