Engadget HD Podcast 276 - 11.29.2011

Even with the holiday break, it's been a busy week and we've got plenty to discuss including some long-awaited events, like a new HD guide from Comcast, the DirecTiVo, and SlingPlayer for Boxee Box. That's not all however, since we're just a week away from Microsoft's latest assault on the living room with the new Xbox 360 dashboard, and with CES just over a month away rumors are heating up including news about Samsung and Google TV. We've also got our holiday shopping guide for 2011 to talk about, so check out that list and what we're watching over the next week and add in your suggestions in the comments below.
