On today's show we will discuss the expected Black Friday deals we can all look forward to on the day after Thanksgiving. We will also see how our predicitions we made back in September turned out. LESS

Every year the Consumer Electronics Association compiles Five Technology Trends to Watch. The full document is about 25 pages long, but it has some great information in it, so we went through it to pull out the highlights. The CEA claims that the "topics chosen this year by CEA market analysts cover a wide range of digital technologies that will impact the world." While they may not end world hunger or and end to war, we do agree that they are interesting trends that we all will want to keep an eye on. We'll give the HT Guys Digest version, but please read the whole article if we pique your interest. LESS

Today we take a look at the Western Digital WD TV HD Media player. The WD TV HD Media Player is a device about the size of an external hard drive that plays A/V content from USB storage media. The WD TV HD Media player is optimized for the WD "My Passport" line of hard drives but it will work with other USB devices. The player supports 1080p for content and menus navigation. LESS

There are quite a few solutions on the market for wireless digital audio. When Logitech acquired Slim Devices a couple years ago, they jumped into the fray with the Squeezebox line of products. Logitech quickly turned out their own twist on the product line, the Squeezebox Duet. We've had one in the HT Guys lab for quite a while and recently got the chance to plug it in, power it on and give it a listen. LESS

Ara got a chance to speak with Avner Ronen, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Boxee Inc. Boxee is billed as the open, connected, social media center for Mac OSX and Linux. It is a fork of the XBMC project that has taken the media center application in a new 'social networking' direction. Currently in a limited alpha release, big things are already happening and it's gaining a lot of traction. It's a fun piece of software and was a fun interview. LESS

CE Pro magazine has put together another list of amazingly priced home electronics products. We're looking for ideas to put on our wish lists for Christmas, so we figured this list would be a good place to start. And Yahoo has a list of new TV shows that have either already been picked up for a whole season or are looking promising. So if you're wondering if that new show you've really gotten addicted to will be around in the springtime and beyond, you'll want to have a listen. LESS

As the first Halloween with one High Definition movie disc format, we compiled a list of the ten best spooky movies on Blu-ray, just in case you don't have anything to do and want to watch something scary. But before we get too far on that, we also cover some recent reports about Blu-ray being a temporary format and not having that much life left. Who knows, maybe next year we'll give the list of the top ten high definition downloads for Halloween. LESS

We've compile a few lists of some of the top selling items at Amazon.com. A few of the lists shocked us a little bit. Of course, we have an opinion on what they mean, and what we might see for the Holiday shopping season. LESS

We've both seen the entire Indiana Jones Trilogy, so when Paramount said they were filming a fourth movie we both became very excited. Braden saw the movie in the theater and Ara waited for it to come out on Blu Ray. While this review is technical in nature, be fore warned, we may throw out a few spoilers.

We talked about a Vudu's new HD Technology (HDX) back on Show #316. For those of you that did not hear that show, Vudu's HDX technology, according to Vudu, is a new video format that delivers the highest quality true High Definition 1080p content available from any Internet, broadcast or satellite on-demand service. We decided to put that statement to a test. LESS

It's no secret we're into projects; we like to geek out every now and then to see what we can put together without breaking the bank. We've built our own MythTV server, assembled a Mac based video server and have messed around with whole house audio as well. Another project we've had in the back of our minds for years now is the infamous DIY Home Theater Projector project. As we started to do our research, a thought hit us. Would it be better to build a projector ourselves, or just pay a little extra and buy one on eBay? LESS
