board room setup and installation
i recently had some work in a board room to install a new tv and setup the laptops for presentations,i originally quoted for one 50 inch plasma tv and wall bracket plus four cat 5 cables and two sets of hdmi extenders and one aerial connection for external aerial if needed,after installing the cat 5 and extenders and testing i proceeded to plug my own sony vaio which has hdmi out into the hdmi cat 5 extenders and it worked correctly no resolution problems.
I then used one of the staff laptops which also had hdmi which did not work i then tried another with a vga converter still no output so i left that evening with a problem how do i get a solution to be able to get all these different laptops displaying on the 50 inch plasma through hdmi,solution i went home done some research and came across the qwave wireless usb extender it basically plugs into any usb laptop and then wirelessly sends the correct screen resolution to the tv through the hdmi to my suprise this worked brilliantly all the laptops needed the drivers installed on to the laptops for it to work and it sends the correct signal to the tv through the qwave base unit i would highly recomend this device if you have a similar situation to mine were you have different laptops for presentations to display on a tv screen
satellite installation
Are you thinking of installing your own satellite dish and reciever,i will try and help you on a few things to help you get the job done swiftly and without problems
- check location for dish find out the compass reference for it
- make sure that you have clear line of site to satellite
- make sure their is not any flats in the way etc
- do you have a chimney sometimes installing on a chimney is the best way to go for dificult installations
- get some advice on the correct equipment that you need from either a local installer or your local satellite shop
- if at all in doubt get a proffessional to do it for you and save your self the stress
- most local engineers have the right equipment on their van to do the installation for you
- try and run through the installations before you actually doit so you can work out the best way to run the cables into your property
- if possible run them into the loft and use an existing cable especially if ita a new build cables running round the side of new builds looks terrible.
- make sure you use the crimp type connectors to avoid them becoming loose and creating a bad connection
like i said if your not comfortable with the above get your local engineer to do it for you,it will probably save you some money too,if you need any more help please ring me on the above number i iwll be more than happy to help you.
most satellite installations are carried out by proper engineers who are competant at their job,at the end of the day your aim is too get the work done as best as you can whilst still maintaing a high level of quality this is what i provide so if you have any doubt i offer a free site survey.
MARKETING IN BIRMINGHAM
hi hopefully you have arrived here through a search on google by typing marketing in birmingham if you arrived here from some were else well im sorry for that,any way i thought i would write a little bit about google and getting on the first page for your offline bussiness like mine,i found that what ever i did i was just paying out more and mor money to google through adwords which did get me clicks but not work,when i first set up my business for aerail installations in birmingham i had a website done which was a nice site but never got me work why have a site that does not get you work it makes no point at all.
so i got to thinking how to get work through google through the organic searches surely their is a way to do this well there is but no one seems to want to explain how to go about it or how to get to your destination my site, well blog know comes first page for the search specific to aerial installation birmingham and yes i get work from it also because my site is ranking high so is my map listing so i also come second on the maps i started this site in april and it has taken me about 3 months for it to get first page which im really happy with i get plenty of comments on here a lot of spam but most of all it isnt costing me nothing to achieve this seo is for ever,i paid out arounf £2500 on advertising last year but this year it has reduced by around £2000 so that is a massive saving plus i get a steady stream of work through my site which is great its also optimised for iphones,androind phones etc so it can be viewed easily,i had a customer contact me yesterday after finding me through his iphone which is great,why pay out thousands to yell.com and yellow pages your throwing your money away invest in your future not paper,you have to move with the times if you dont you may get left behind.so if i can do this anyone can with a little know how.

3D TVS/My TAKE ON IT
so as we all know 3d is the latest offering by sony,its pushing the tvs hard and updates for the ps3 through the network and with ps3 move coming out this september it will add a different take on games in the future.a lot of people feel that 3d is just a gimmick or is it will it rock our world im a gaming fan have been ever since manic miner so for me it seems kind of exciting that this tech is available right know from the ps3 network if you have a 3d tv either from sony or one of the other major tv brands,i havent tried it yet the only 3d i have seen was avatar at the imax cinema here in birmingham uk.i have read several reviews on peoples experience with it,playing killzone 3 in 3d is supposed to be amazing but at this moment in time it is very very expensive i think for it to go main stream it needs a serious price drop,the tvs are around £1800 plus you need the glasses and a transmitter for the glasses what are sony on lol,do they even realise that there is a ressesion on, no i dont think they do.
so will i bet getting one i certainly will im hoping that by the time killzone 3 comes out next year that the have dropped considerable because if its anything close to the avatar film im sold.but obviously they reckon that millions wont be even able to see this tech because of poor eye sight which is bad if you one who can not see it but for those that can i feel that it holds the key to better immersion in games and better viewing for films in your home when 3d blue ray arrives.
AERIAL INSTALLATION BIRMINGHAM HD/SOLUTION
so as you are aware mux 34 is very low please see my other post (aerial installation birmingham great barr b44)
well solution to fix this would be to fit a group a aerial which covers channels 30-36 you could use this A group aerial for your hd only amplify it,then combine with a wideband aerial for your digital signal.
or simply buy one of the new televes hd aerials not sure how good these are but will be trying one very soon no dought ,it has an intelligent adjusting balun/amplifier built in and adjusts the signal automatically so look out for that review,hope this helps.

AERIAL INSTALLATION BIRMINGHAM HD / GREAT BARR B44 rhu
i did a job in great barr b44 on saturday 12.6.10.the gentleman wanted four points one to each bedroom and the lounge all connecting up,so i fitted the aerial to the chimney with a 6ft pole tested the signal muxes 41,44,47,51,52,55 were all above 60 db so your thinking thats great well no it wasnt,heres why.
i then tested for mux 34 which comes from lichfield for the HD channels as he had brought a hd recorder and wanted channels 50,51,52 working heres the problem after checking the mux it was at 35 db considerably lower than the digital signal so i fitted the aerial run all the cables but after fitting a four way splitter the hd was breaking up,but the freeview was all working ok.
i couldnt fit an amp in the loft because it would make the signal to high and would overload the freeview tuners so after chatting with the customer we decided to connect the aerial on the roof to the main tv and connect to the hd box,then the other three bedrooms we connected to an exisitng aerial in the loft to obtain the freeview for his bedrooms.
but this posed the question of what if he wanted to get an hd box for the bedrooms it wouldnt work because the signal would be to low for mux 34,so if your thinking of buying a hd freeview box make sure you get your aerial checked before buying to see if you can pick up the channels this will cause quite a few problems in the future until they move it over to sutton coldfield as the mux is really low indeed let me know if you have experienced anything similar.
