Rope Access at Palmeria Square Brighton

How do you get cables from the roof to the ground floor without the use of expensive scaffolding?

With such beautiful buildings like these running cables can be a nightmare.
But not for Doddington Aerials Rope Access Team.

When our customer wanted two cables run to his lounge from the roof, as discreetly as possible- to avoid creating an eye sore, we got the harnesses and ropes out of the van and got to work!

Rope Access allows us to abseil down any building in a matter of minutes, which was the perfect solution to keeping these building looking stunning.

We anchored our abseiling ropes to two of the large chimney stacks on the roof, and over the edge we went!

On the right you can see the view from the top.

Cables had been run down this building in the past using scaffolding, so it was nice a simple for us to follow these cables from the roof to the ground floor; following every contour of the property. Once we had finished abseiling the Brighton property, you couldn't see that we had ever been there!

Spot the abseiler below..... :)

If you would like the Doddington Aerials & Satellites Rope Access Team to survey your property, to run new cables or tidy existing ones, please send us an email through our website or call us on 07794786718

Sonos Wireless Hi-Fi System

SONOS HOME ENTERTAINMENT

Founded in 2002 Sonos is a Santa Barbara electronics company which has become world famous for it’s wireless hi-fi system, the Sonos Multi-Room Music System ‘All the music you want!’

Overall the Sonos Multi-Room Music System is pretty compact; it looks very slick and would camouflage well into just about any home. Sonos components work together as a set of electronics creating a ‘zoned’ audio system, this means that you can play one song in the lounge, whilst another plays in the bedroom or you can even have the same song playing simultaneously throughout the home.

The Sonos system works with two key components; these are ‘Zone Players’ and ‘Controllers’. Zone Players connect directly into the speaker/amp, or the system can be an all-in one integrated system, which is controlled by a Sonos controller. What’s more with a simple software download you can control the music throughout your home via your mobile phone/laptop or tablet.

At Doddington Aerials & Satellites we are lucky enough to own a Sonos system and we think it is absolutely fantastic.

The Sonos system is so very easy to use; upload the music, update and synchronise the software and away you go! The sound that the Sonos system produces is of extremely high quality and we absolutely love the system- overall a worthwhile investment for all those music lovers!

We can install your Sonos Wireless Hi-Fi System, simply give us a call for more details on 07794786718!

Digital Switchover starting this week over the Brighton and Worthing regions!

The Digital switchover begins this week on Wednesday 7th March!

This is the first part of the digital switchover, this is when the analogue TV transmitters switchover in the Brighton and Worthing areas and the Meridian region will go completely digital.



Digital aerial installed in Brighton area.



For anyone who has an aerial facing Whitehawk Hill and Rowridge Transmitters (this covers most homes in the Brighton and Worthing areas) the TV switchover will happen in two stages, the first stage will be switched over on 7th March 2012 and the second stage on the 21st March 2012

On Wednesday the 7th March 2012 the BBC2 analogue will be switched off, this means that you will have to re-tune your digital TV system in order to watch the accessible channels. This will involve going into the menu settings on your TV/Freeview box and performing a channel re-scan (or auto tune), if you are not sure how to do this try checking the manual or calling Doddington Aerials & Satellites.

On Wednesday the 21st March 2012 the remaining analogue channels will be switched off in the Meridian TV region, and therefore you will no longer be able to watch TV via an analogue system. Once again you will have to re-tune your digital TV system for a second time to watch the additional channels.

If you are unsure if your TV is ready for the digital switchover or have any problems during the digital switchover then call Chris at Doddington Aerials & Satellites, 07794786718.

New Rival For Freeview and Freesat, In ‘Real Digital’

The UK digital TV market is under pressure with the entering of ‘Real Digital’ a new digital TV service.

It is thought Real Digital aim to be in direct competition with the likes of Freeview and Freesat, launching later on this year with their brand new free satellite service.

Real Digital aims to be a TV solution for viewers wanting a selection of TV channels without having to pay subscription charges like with the Sky and Virgin Media packages.

Real Digital are aiming to launch the new digital TV service on the 1st September 2011, to directly rival those existing companies.

Real Digital will reportedly offer customers around 400 standard definition free to view channels and five HD options too, these will include BBC One HD, BBC HD, Channel 4 HD, ITV HD and NHK World.

The company are looking to offer what is described to be a 'top-up' package where additional channels such as Sky Sports can be viewed.

Real Digital has confirmed it will offer two digital boxes with a standardised remote control, they will be Internet-ready systems for future additional upgrades,  and be built with twin tuners.

As a customer the only thing which will be needed (other than a TV of course) is satellite dish to receive the signal!
