Another busy week so far, albeit a bit of a mixed bag. It started on a beautiful Monday morning with a few simple jobs resolving an issue with an aerial distribution system and several phone extensions in a clients apartment.
This was then followed with a BNI meeting in Droitwich and then our usual Royal Spa chapter meeting on Tuesday morning. I am glad to say that it went exceptionally well, we had some great visitors and plenty of referrals and business was passed. I am also pleased to say that we have had a new member application as well.
This morning I have been running in a new HDMI cable in a clients home-cinema in Warwickshire as he is upgrading his projector the the new Runco LS-5 1080P DLP unit. This is an amazing projector and will give a massive upgrade on his current unit. This will be using his new Oppo BDP-93 Blu-Ray player as a source component. Once we have installed this, the guys from Pulse Marketing will be coming up to carry out the ISF calibration to get the very best from the system.
In between visiting clients, I have been spending a large amount of time loading lots of new software onto my MacBook Pro. We are currently going through the Savant accreditation process to become one of their select dealers in the UK and we have made a significant investment in the many related software products required to become a dealer.
As I have mentioned before, this is a very exciting product, not just for us but for the industry as a whole and I can't wait for the 3 day training course in late May and I am looking forward to installing our first system.
Well, that's it for now and I hope you all have a fantastic easter weekend.

Busy, busy, busy
It has been some time since my last blog and this is due, in no small part, to the fact that I have been quite busy.
Alongside the day to day requests from clients to move Sky boxes, hang a flat screen, sort out IT issues, install WiFi networks and so on, I was privileged enough to be asked to undertake the role of Chapter Director in my local BNI - an opportunity I have grabbed with both hands.
For those of you who are not aware of BNI, this is a World Wide organisation that meet each week over breakfast to help promote our own businesses and pass referrals to one another. For more information, visit their website: http://www.bni-europe.com/uk/
Exciting news on the product front. Digital Domain were approached by one of our Distributors to attend a training overview of a tremendous new control system based around Apple products. This is really leading edge technology and the marketplace has not seen anything like this before. To be able to control any aspect of your home such as HVAC, lighting, Home Cinema, music and movies all from your iPhone or iPad is not unique, but to be able to do this with such ease, speed and a completely intuitive GUI is!
This amazing new product is from Savant AV and their website is http://www.savantav.com/
Check out their videos and products and for something uber-cool, have a look at their TrueImage technology: http://www.savantav.com/technology_truimage_gesturetouch.aspx
Thats it for now, and I will be blogging more often - mental note to devote more time to letting you all know what we are doing.
Thanks for reading
