Sky cuts setup price on HD package (Engadget HD)

Mar 7th 2008 11:50AM I was with SkyHD for a year since day 1 and was very happy to get away from Sky altogether when my contract expired.

The premium of �10 is not justified due to very, very low HD content. Add to that the expensive box and a 12 month contract and it turns out to be an expensive deal.

Freesat (www.freesat.co.uk) is coming and it is promising HD as well. I wouldn't be surprised if this creates competition to Sky and we'll see prices coming down even further!

eBay to eliminate negative feedback from sellers (Download Squad)

Feb 7th 2008 4:17AM I am a honest seller and my activity on ebay is around 75% purchasing.

This suggestion would be ideal for me as I always make sure the buyer is satisfied but often find myself not so happy with a purchase but opt not to leave feedback and risking tarnishing my 100% feedback.

The option of blind feedbacks mentioned above is pretty good too.

What does plasma's future hold? (Engadget HD)

Aug 15th 2007 1:19PM Have a look at G8 1080p Pinoneer plasmas. Without question better quality than LCD but it costs.

All this talk about scaling back on Plasma production is because they can not compete on price with LCDs and for the average consumer LCD is "flat enough".

So many of them connect their Composite video to their LCD anyways and would not notice the difference in PQ in a plasma.

EPOS Technologies' digital pen records your writing (Engadget)

Aug 9th 2007 4:26PM Easy tiger,

"This device, *if* it works, will be amazing" (my emphasis) hits it on the head.

I agree that the Anoto system is expensive but it is being used professionally in a wide verity of fields (construction, medicine, e-commerce, postal order, magazines and many more)... and their support is excellent.

Best Buy selling Xbox 360 HD DVD player for $149.99 (Engadget HD)

Aug 1st 2007 11:57AM Meh, just another act of desperation from the HD DVD camp!

Blu-ray fencesitters: five free movies sound good? (Engadget HD)

Jul 3rd 2007 6:17AM Good reply, what matters in the end is the perceived improvement in picture and sound quality.

I have been listening to DD5.1 and DTS for the last 4 years and didn't think digital audio could get much better but you've made me curious.

Upgrading to 1080 PDP and PS3 soon...

Project Kangaroo could pool TV content from major UK broadcasters (Engadget HD)

Jun 18th 2007 4:50AM With the current poor state of the UK broadband offerings and the trend of introducing more and more restrictive download limits, I am curious to see how we are supposed to consume this always talked about IPTV.
