Rogers Communications in Canada is not sold on tru2way {Engadget HD}
Oct 31st 2009 4:07AM Yeah, it is MUCH worse. I just can't believe that even after all these years, we can't get Tivo HD or Windows Media Center to work as they're meant to without having to jump through hoops. Is it really too much to ask?

Panasonic issues mildly revamped PT-AE4000 1080p projector at IFA {Engadget}
Sep 3rd 2009 4:35PM The asking price is in line with the price they asked for the PT-AE3000 last year. And if u compare the Panny to the Sanyo projector, you'll see there's a significant difference in quality. I'm not sure about the Epson, but they've had their issues too (especially with frame interpolation). If u read the reviews on the PT-AE3000, they've pretty much been unanimously glowing. I'd expect the 4000 to be equal to the task, but a price drop would be nice.
Fox breaks the first rule, talks about Fight Club on Blu-ray {Engadget HD}
Sep 2nd 2009 1:15PM ya, what's the deal with lagging behind and not putting out 7.1 soundtracks? with Audyssey and Dolby pushing for even more speakers (not that I'm convinced it's worth it), i would think that a 7.1 soundtrack could be easily implemented into a blu-ray. c'mon, max out those discs!!

That's not to say that your buddies are going to want to watch a documentary, but for pure visuals, it's the way to go IMHO. As for audio, I'm not sure...
TiVo having tough time in Canada, looking for options {Engadget HD}
Sep 16th 2008 1:52PM Ya, if TiVo could record satellite HD signals, I'm sure they'd have much better results. Since they're getting back together with DirecTV in the U.S., they should be able to work something out with Bell (or StarChoice if you swing that way).
Analyst opines T-Mobile might want in on Canadian spectrum sale {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 3rd 2008 2:54PM The more competition, the better. When you compare what Canadians pay versus our good neighbours to the south (as well as many others around the world), it's painfully obvious we need more competition. And since Ted Rogers is bitching loudly about the sprectrum auction, it MUST be a good thing!

Where the hell is the 3G iPhone for Europe? We might know. {Engadget}
Sep 5th 2007 6:48PM Ya, what about Canada??? Those rat bastards at Rogers keep screwing us! They won't give out any information and still charge an arm and a leg and a left testicle for their data plans.
