Posted in: boxee, hands-on, the engadget show, TheEngadgetShow, Today's Chili, TV, videos, Yahoo

Gather round everyone, while you may have gotten used to accessing Engadget via the browser or any one of our mobile apps, starting today we’re ready to come home in one more way: on your TV. Launching on Boxee, Roku, Yahoo! Widgets and DivX is a new AOL HD package which includes a channel full of our videos ready for viewing on big screens. This way, when you want to kick back and enjoy a new hands-on video, The Engadget Show or any of our other content it’s only as far away as your remote control, which is probably also your phone, PC or tablet. There’s plenty more to come in the future — we’ll figure out an in-app Screen Grabs submission tool somehow — but for now we’re happy to have an official outlet on some of the most widely available connected TV platforms out there. The AOL HD app will begin showing up today, check out the gallery for a few screenshots of us on each of the platforms.

The Engadget Show – 022: Gadgets get smashed, Rick Karr talks broadband, Peter Rojas and Ryan Block tell us what moved them

Posted in: engadget, engadget show, EngadgetShow, HTC, samsung, the engadget show, TheEngadgetShow, Today's Chili, video

The Engadget Show is back! Last time it was gaming, this time we go for something with a bit more variety. The show starts with Tim and Brian taking a quick look over some of the month’s biggest gadgets, like the Samsung Chromebook Series 5, the HTC EVO 3D, and a pair of new readers: the Barnes & Noble Nook WiFi and the Kobo eReader Touch Edition.

After that it’s sledgehammer time, where Brian and Terrence work through some pent-up frustrations by beating the silicon out of a series of durable gadgets, all captured in delicious slow motion. Some survived, some did not. Then, we all learn a lesson as Rick Karr stops by to talk about the (sorry) state of US broadband compared to the rest of the world.

Next, we take it to the streets to ask you what your most important gadgets are before being joined in the studio by the Engadget founder Peter Rojas and Editor Emeritus Ryan Block, the duo behind GDGT, to talk about the gadgets that most affected them in their time at the site and beyond, also taking some questions from eager audience members about, well, gadgety things. Finally, we all get carried deep into the aural environment of Chrome Canyon.

It’s a tech-heavy, action-packed show this week that you won’t want to miss. So what are you waiting for? Watch it now! The video stream is above, or download the show in HD below!

It’s another episode of The Engadget Show, in which we keep on keepin’ on and give you a taste of what’s to come next week.

Then, we take a trip down to Babycastles, the indie arcade where the gamers make the games — and the cabinets. After that, Joystiq’s Chris Grant and Justin McElroy join us on the stage to dish up just what’s coming next from Sony. NGP? Wii HD? Project Cafe? Intrigue.

It’s a gaming-heavy, genre-busting show this week that you won’t want to mis. So what are you waiting for? Watch it now! The video stream is above, or download the show in HD below!

BPG Werks DTV Shredder test-ride (video)

Posted in: engadget show, EngadgetShow, military, the engadget show, TheEngadgetShow, Today's Chili, video, wargadget

We first heard of the Shredder back in September, a crazy, treaded contraption that looked fit to appear in the next Starship Troopers film — or maybe a TMNT reboot at least. It’s the product of the overactive mind of Ben Gulak, the guy behind the Uno transforming and self-balancing motorcycle that we saw at CES. When Ben showed us some videos of the DTV Shredder at the show we knew we had to ride it, and so we did, hitting the sand in New Mexico and managing to come away from the experience unharmed and only a little dehydrated. Come on in to check out our experience on both the consumer-friendly Sport and rather brawnier Military edition, both of which could be in production by the end of the year.

Welcome to the latest episode of the The Engadget Show, in which we change things up just a little bit.

Then, Tim has a chat with Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally about the future of transportation, and just what’ll be driving you in to work in 20 years.

After that, Engadget founder Peter Rojas joins Tim and Managing Editor Darren Murph to look at a plethora of tablets. Favorites are chosen, lines are drawn, and allegiances pledged. There’s also talk of Amazon’s next play in the tablet space, the death of Flip, and what’s up next for GDGT.
