Engadget HD Podcast 176 - 01.26.2010No guests this week, but there's still plenty of HD related topics to talk about. Of course that includes 3D, but after that we had time to discuss a new Blu-ray player from Oppo, future possibilities for digital distribution and exactly what we're expecting from NBC's costly Winter Olympics coverage. After that the talk turns to the legal aspects of the latest action from the FCC, and Microsoft's patent infringement lawsuit.

Seen in HD – The “No Audio” Episode, The Hurt Locker reviewOn the news front, Oppo has revealed plans for an even less expensive entry-level Blu-ray player, the BDP-80.

Audioholics has a nice look at the BDP-80 with a handy comparison.
