Hasta La Gadget!

Here’s the good news: Ben and Richard survived the so-named CES Death Flu. Good thing, too, because we’re not finished with the onslaught of UHD display tech from Vegas in the least. Among various HD talking points, we’ve got an interview straight from the slow floor with Sharp’s Jim Sandusky about the company’s latest TVs. The only thing that might top that is Top Gun remastered in 3D. These, just some of the many highlights from this installment of the Engadget HD Podcast.

Welcome to 2013, and with CES nearly upon us, we have returned with a new podcast episode to wrap up all the pre-show releases and get ready for what’s to come. All the new LG 4K, OLED and laser projector stuff? It’s in here, and Samsung’s display teases too. We’ll even discuss Ben’s DirecTV Genie DVR review and the odds of whether the rumored pay-for-only-the-channels-you-want Intel “virtual cable” service launches soon (probably not). The next time you hear from us we’ll be coming live from Las Vegas, right now you can press play for our official preview episode.

The Wii U has only just arrived (with all of its streaming apps) and we’re already discussing rumors for the next generation of Xbox. Meanwhile Comcast is letting users view TV on their mobile devices offline, and Verizon has launched live TV streaming to its iPad app. In sports news YouTube has locked up NBA D-League streaming, while ESPN continues to chase the bigger fish of the BCS Playoff games and the lure of TV money is helping shape conference expansion. We’ve also got news on a few new things to watch, so press play to listen in. We were having some RSS issues after the redesign, but those should be straightened out now — if you still notice any problems let us know on Twitter or in the comments below.

After a relatively quiet week, we can take our time on topics like AT&T’s U-verse expansion and news that Netflix is accounting for 29 percent of North American internet traffic. We’ve also got some executive movements at Sony, new HDTVs from Hitachi and the launch of new TiVo features on Virgin Media. For a peek into the future, look no further than a list of theaters supporting 48fps 3D showings of The Hobbit, and the premiere of the new Battlestar Galactica prequel on YouTube before it hits cable and Blu-ray.
