It goes without saying that we are thankful for our families, our health, our friends, and our wonderful listeners.

It seems like just about every Blu-ray movie coming out these days can easily be added to the list - for sure the block-bluster movies from the big studios. Iron Man is no exception. If ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

maybe next year we'll give the list...

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
Vudu's new HD Technology (HDX) back on Show #316. For those of you ...

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...
