Residential Home Networking

If you want to get all that you paid for from your high speed internet connection then you know the importance of having a home network. Having a solid reliable network is the foundation of any digital house. Some of the things our customers look to us for help:

• Set up a wireless network
• A home media server
• Back up your movies, music, photos and personal files
• Indoor/Outdoor wireless internet coverage
• Use files from multiple computers
• Stream internet, photos, movies, music, TV and more through the house
• Making a personal ‘cloud’ for the whole family
• Secure hard wired internet connections

Today’s home entertainment systems have the capabilities and should be connected to the internet. They provide more access to so much content, more than ever before! Who wants cable boxes and surround sound equipment spread all over the house? Why not have all of the equipment tucked neatly away in a closet or basement and accessible from where you are at? Want to access the show you recorded on the family room DVR in the bedroom? How about that new movie release that you started in the den but want to finish on the big screen? Maybe you started a new music playlist on your phone but want to listen to it outside at the patio. With MY GUYS at your side, making any of these transitions is as easy as walking to the room of choice and pressing a button. When it lives on the network, you can access it anywhere.

P.S. Home owners selling their home often see a $5,000 increase in home value when buyers see that the house is properly wired for a digital network.

If you are looking for a replacement TV to reconnect all of your existing equipment you should be able to do that without much fanfare. However, if you have never seen High Definition, if you watch more than 1 hour of TV a week or even remotely enjoy watching movies, you NEED to investigate a surround sound system!

HD is the greatest thing to happen to TV since it went color. Almost everything you watch or want to watch is recorded in HD and it is an experience of the senses. TV programs are in such crystal clear clarity that it could be mistaken that The Living Dead are in your living room tonight!

But the viewing enjoyment is only 50% of what you’re paying for every single month from your cable or satellite provider! Think of it this way, going to the football game is an experience. The roar of the crowd; how the field looks before, during and after the game and the crunch of the helmets. The $150 lighter your wallet will be from having to pay for the ticket, drinks and food! Now what if you can have a better seat, hear what the players are saying and still beat the traffic rush home! This is what surround sound does.

The high definition picture is great but the experience is brought together by the sounds that you hear. And it’s not just in sports that surround sound plays a role. Almost everything on network television has so much stuff in high definition Dolby Digital surround quality; you will find yourself watching programs you didn’t even know existed! It will be your own private theater in the comfort of your home. An entertainment experience!
