Engadget HD Podcast 279 - 12.20.2011

The future of TV has become a theme as of late, and this week Ben's editorial puts the topic front and center. We'll paw through what's wrong and possible solutions on the horizon including the latest Apple rumors, a new deal for the NFL and Channel Master's OTA DVR / streaming video combo box. Other hardware is also encroaching on the living room, so we'll also take a peek at the latest Xbox Live updates and a new iPhone remote for Roku. Press play for all that and more, including the (sad) state of our fantasy football efforts and what's on TV over the holiday break.
