It may be Christmas Eve Eve and the fourth day of Hannukah, but so far, this has felt like just another week in the consumer electronics biz. Another loco crazy, pre-CES, sink-or-swim, walk-a-dozen-miles-to-charge-your-cell kind of week. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have a couple of nice presents for you…including, of course, your very own Engadget Podcast.

We’ve been talking about initiatives with the potential to change how we watch TV and now, one of them is finally ready to launch. We spent a lot of time going over Microsoft’s new dashboard for the Xbox 360 and what it could, but probably won’t, do to the market. Of course the folks in Redmond aren’t the only ones with something to show as we also cast an eye towards new iPad apps from Dijit and Cox, as well as the possibility we’ll see DirecTV’s HR34 Home Media Center DVR this week. Other topics include the cable companies getting out of wireless, Lovefilm switching from Flash to Silverlight, and Time Warner’s tablet app arriving on Android. As usual we close out with our picks of what to watch this week, so press play and see if you agree with our choices,

Just in time for the holiday break, here’s the latest Engadget HD podcast and thanks to some of the usual suspects (Sony, Netflix, Roku, Boxee) we’ve got plenty to talk about this week. While Sony might be (but probably isn’t) about to take on cable TV, Boxee is attacking in its own way with a new live TV tuner. we also say hello to Vizio’s newest TVs and SlingPlayer support for Chrome and Facebook. Finally, we wrap up with what we’re watching over the next week, so press play and see if we missed any of your Thanksgiving favorites.
