Gainesville Computer Repair: Engadget HD Podcast 266

Netflix's surprise split took the top spot this week, so we dug into what this means for the company and its subscribers, especially those who prefer Blu-ray quality over streaming convenience. Closing things out is our quick preview of this week's fall TV premieres, with a few media streamers, CEDIA notes, satellite outages and Windows 8 discussion squeezed in between. We're now living in the era of Qwikster -- press play and we'll talk you through it.
