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.

Digital Swithover Brighton, Worthing and Sussex

We are now counting down the days until the analogue TV transmitters switch off in our local area of Sussex and for the UK to go completely digital, TV region by TV region.

If you are unsure if your TV system is ready for the digital switchover then it is important you get some trustworthy advice.

It is important you ask a reputable aerial/TV engineer to visit you property to make sure you are ready for the digital switchover, a good engineer should not charge you for the visit - if they are simply carrying out a check to see if your TV system is ready.

Some people will need to convert or upgrade their current TV system, this is quite simple - in most cases it means purchasing a digital box. The best thing to look for is the 'Digital Tick' logo, if the product is marked with the 'Digital Tick' it means the item has been made to be compatible after the digital TV switchover.

Other people may find they need to upgrade their TV aerial, once again a trustworthy aerial fitter will inform you of this when they visit your property.

If you would like Doddington Aerials and Satellites to visit your property completely free of charge, we will give you all the information you need to ensure your home is ready for the digital switchover. For an appointment or more information call Chris on 07794786718.Don't forget the digital switchover is fast approaching in our local areas; Brighton, Worthing, Sussex and the entire Meridian TV region!

New F1 Freeview Channel

All you motor sport fanatics out there will be excited to know ,that next season Sky Sports will run a dedicated Formula One TV channel which could be available to Freeview customers for a monthly fee!

In a tactic aimed at annoyed F1 fans, this looks to get people to switch from terrestrial to subscription TV. This brand new channel is reported to be included free of charge in Sky and Virgin Media TV packages.

Earlier in 2011 Sky committed to a very controversial seven year deal with the BBC to share the rights from 2012 onwards. This year nearly 40,000 protesters signed an online government petition protesting against this move, with many fearing that they may no longer be able to afford to watch motor sport on their home TV. This new move will see Sky broadcast all 20 races with  full highlights and the BBC broadcasting only half that amount.

This new contract by Sky’s will mean that motor sport fans will be able to watch F1 in 2012 without having to pay for Sky's full subscription package.

It has been reported that this new motor sports channel will run for three days over a race weekend and the channel will offer live coverage of all three practice sessions, the qualifying, the race and will host an exciting F1 legends show.

Landlady Wins Satellite TV Scuffle

Since 2005 landlady Karen Murphy of The Red White and Blue, Southsea, has made news headlines in her battle against the Premier League. In 2005 Karen signed up to receive the Sky Sports packages in her establishment, but shortly found a subscription fee of approximately £1,000 charged by Sky.

This saw Karen change her subscription provider to NOVA a cheaper alternative, however soon enforcers working on behalf of The Premier League prosecuted her on grounds that only Sky could show its football games in the UK. This left Karen ordered to pay thousands of pounds in fines and fees.

In 2011 Karen finally won the right to use a foreign satellite decoder in her pub to screen football matches. This decision was made by the European Court of Justice who ruled that granting exclusive rights of providers like Sky is unlawful.

This ECJ also advocated that there is no such copyright on football matches as there is no ‘intellectual creation”.
