Sky becomes first UK TV network to broadcast live 4K

Remember how we'd heard that a British broadcaster is trialing 4K TV? We have a hunch as to which company that is: Sky now claims that it's the first UK TV network to have conducted a live 4K broadcast. The firm captured a weekend Premier League match in ultra high resolution using the same infrastructure it normally requires for a live show, with satellites delivering a feed to the company's Isleworth broadcast center. Commercial service remains distant, mind you -- Sky requires both more research and wider adoption of 4K TVs to justify an upgrade. If everything falls into place, though, Sky could have an advantage over rival providers that have yet to venture beyond HD.

Major Nelson Xbox One won't support external storage at launch

We hope you weren't counting on using the Xbox One's USB ports for external storage from day one; as it turns out, you'll likely have to be patient. Speaking at the PAX Prime expo this weekend, Microsoft's Larry Hryb (aka Major Nelson) mentioned that external drive support wouldn't be available at launch because the Xbox team was "working on other things." It's not certain when the feature will arrive, Hryb says. We've reached out to Microsoft to verify the statement. If it's accurate, though, you'll want to be cautious when filling the Xbox One's built-in 500GB drive with Xbox Game Store downloads.

DNP The Daily RoundUp

You might say the day is never really done in consumer technology news. Your workday, however, hopefully draws to a close at some point. This is the Daily Roundup on Engadget, a quick peek back at the top headlines for the past 24 hours -- all handpicked by the editors here at the site. Click on through the break, and enjoy.

Lenovo IdeaTab A1000 review

Today the 7-inch tablet market is over crowded with relatively inexpensive top of the line devices, like the recently refreshed Nexus 7 and the ASUS MeMo Pad HD 7. Competition is fierce, and Lenovo hasn't had much luck thus far in delivering quality tablets. With its latest offering -- the 7-inch IdeaTab A1000 -- Lenovo focused on audio quality, but the device's poor performance and disappointing display are a letdown. Read on for more.

Daily Roundup Meizu MX3 handson, IFA 2013 preview, CBSTWC end blackout, and more!

Meizu MX3 hands-on: a significant improvement from the MX2

Meizu lost its way a bit with the MX2, but the MX3 shows us that Jack Wong's team may have finally put the Chinese company back on track. The new flagship offers a Wolfson audio chip, third-gen Sony 8-megapixel sensor, and Android 4.2-based Flyme 3.0 along with a TOL (touch-on-lens) display with a 1,800 x 1,080 resolution. Some of these features we couldn't comment on based on our limited time with the device, but just the presence of these components suggests that Meizu may be once again headed in the right direction. Click through for our full hands-on.

IFA 2013 preview: what to expect

IFA 2013 is fast approaching, and this year's event is shaping up to be everything CES 2013 wasn't. We've yet to see any official announcements from the big contenders, but through chatter, leaks, and teases we have a fairly full picture of what to expect starting September 4th in Berlin, Germany: smartwatches and wearables, Haswell hardware and phones with 4K shooters. Head on up for the full details of what we might see come Wednesday.

iPhone 5C glimpsed in blue and other colors

As September 10th grows closer, rumors of Apple's newest iPhone -- dubbed the iPhone 5C -- have only ramped up. Today we got a glimpse of the new budget smartphone in blue, white, yellow, and even a salmon pink. The latest leak comes from Chinese site iapps.im, before being deleted at the request of a "relevant party." Read on for more information, and a few choice shots of the new device in its translucent packaging.

Well folks, it looks like Time Warner Cable customers will soon get CBS stations back in their living rooms. The two sides have reached an agreement after dropping channels back in July and programming is set to resume at 6PM ET this evening. TWC says that all customers should have channels back in 24 hours at the latest. In a press release announcing the deal, specific terms were not disclosed but they do include retransmission consent alongside Showtime Anytime for VOD and CBS stations in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas. Of course, this means CBS will be up and running on TWC when the NFL regular season kicks off in less than a week's time. For a look at the full statement, venture on past the break.

DNP IFA 2013 preview what to expect

CES 2013 was a decidedly sleepy show by most accounts, but this year's IFA is shaping up to be anything but. Devices set for a reveal are still under proverbial lock and key, but chatter, teases and leaks have painted a fairly full picture of what we can expect to see in Germany: smartwatches and wearables, Haswell hardware and phones with 4K shooters. Join us past the break to get up to speed on what Berlin might dish out this week.

SonyDNP IFA 2013 preview what to expect

Word of a handset codenamed Honami first surfaced earlier this summer, and now Sony can't keep itself from teasing a September 4th reveal of what's now expected to be called the Xperia Z1. Leaks have been building a profile of a device with some serious photo chops: a 20-megapixel sensor that's capable of shooting 4K video. Official images of the device show that it's packing a G-branded lens along with an LED flash, and if we're taking its sneak peek trailer literally, it might even be waterproof. It'll reportedly be paired with a 5-inch, 1080P display and a Snapdragon 800 SoC. Admittedly, it's a little early to start talking release dates, but if yet another leak is to be believed, folks in the UK might be able to get their hands on it through Three starting September 24th.

In addition to its smartphone endeavors, it's a fair bet that Sony will also have some cameras to show off. Sure, the company's recently revealed the Alpha A3000 and NEX-5T, but it might just have something a little more exotic for the show: the QX10 and QX100 "lens cameras," which attach to smartphones and tablets. From rogue press shots and a manual, we've gathered that they're self-contained units with built-in WiFi, a processor, SD card slot and controls, but rely on paired devices for framing and the like.

On the PC front, Sony's confirmed to debut a VAIO laptop / tablet hybrid. By the looks of the teaser trailer, we can expect the notebook to transform by folding back on itself, á la Lenovo's Yoga line of IdeaPads, to complete the metamorphosis.

Kaz Hirai and friends may also showcase a Google TV dongle, which just skirted past the FCC.

SamsungDNP IFA 2013 preview what to expect

JK Shin and Co. have two headliners confirmed for a debut at the show: the Galaxy Gear smartwatch and the Galaxy Note 3. Although Samsung's acknowledged the existence and name of its intelligent timepiece, scuttlebutt, trademarks and patents involving it haven't provided a terrible amount of detail. A recent screenshot of a reported Android companion app, however, makes mention of NFC, Bluetooth and app support. At this point, it's anyone's guess if it'll make use of "Youm" flexible displays, especially since the firm is soliciting ideas and business plans for the technology.

Also on deck for the outfit is its Galaxy Note 3, and rumors point to 4K video capture, high-quality 24-bit audio and a 5.7-inch screen (or 5.68 inches, if you're a stickler for dimensions). An internal Three UK memo sent our way reveals that the Note's third incarnation could hit the carrier on September 16th.

Naturally, the parade of 4K screens will continue at IFA, and the Korean manufacturer is set to debut its latest. Namely, a 98-inch commercial Ultra HD "video wall," and a 31.5-inch UHD monitor. While we hope the latter will be labeled with a price tag somewhere this side of affordable, we don't recommend holding your breath. At any rate, Samsung will give up its current batch of secrets on September 4th.

LGDNP IFA 2013 preview what to expect

Not only did LG taunt us with an early mention of its G Pad 8.3, but it's also gone as far as giving us the complete lowdown ahead of IFA. Its slate packs an 8.3-inch, 1,920 x 1,200 WUXGA display, which is said to be a first for an 8-inch tablet. Within its sleek 8.3mm-thick and 338-gram chassis, the pad houses a hefty 4,600mAh battery, 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 SoC and 2GB of RAM. A recent FCC filing from August hints that there's another tablet, which will carry a 9.8-inch screen and the model number V500.

According to Dimitar Valev, the outfit's Bulgarian mobile communications head, LG has also been hard at work on a smartphone, smartwatch and a Firefox OS device. Naturally, IFA is the prime event for the company to show off its complete battery of brand-new gadgets, and we're bracing for the impact. Details are slim on the handset side, but Valev expects hardware larger than the 5.5-inch Optimus G Pro, and that a Firefox phone will launch early next year. On the smartwatch front, info is also scarce, but the talkative exec did mention that the ticker could use flexible-LCD tech.

Laptops and PCsDNP IFA 2013 preview what to expect

Computex played host to the initial volley of Haswell-infused devices, and we can expect IFA to continue the march of machines using the power-efficient processors. Not only is it a given that Intel's new silicon will populate other PCs, it's also a safe bet that convertible form factors will trickle down from Windows 8 launch flagships to more affordable hardware. Yes, we're looking at you Lenovo, LG, Sony and Toshiba.Wrap-upIFA already promises to be brimming with fresh gadget revelations, but a few other factors are conspiring to make the week produce even more news. Since there's no Photokina this fall, it's highly likely outfits with unannounced cams will make some noise in Berlin. In addition, Qualcomm is holding its Uplinq conference in San Diego during the next few days, which is bound to have new hardware and mobile tech announcements. Sure, we have a surprisingly good lay of the land for IFA 2013, but the deluge of details and specs is sure to keep us busy. Keep it locked on Engadget for the latest from Berlin. when.eng("eng.perm.init")
