Gadget Show test of the Sonos Play:1, they loved it so much they want one!

On New Year’s Eve to celebrate in style the cast of Hollyoak's tested some of the latest party technology on the Gadget Show which is shown on Channel 5.

Featuring in the latest party technology alongside a touch screen table tablet and some party lighting was the amazing Sonos Play:1 speaker which although shown in white on the show, is also available to purchase in black too.

You can watch the video by clicking on this link and checking out for yourself just how much they all loved it.

A couple of their comments they made about it though include:

“The sound quality from such a small speaker was just brilliant, it’s phenomenal”.
“Slick, sharp and elegant. Looks like a cool brand”.


For those of you who haven’t had chance to see one for yourself yet then why don’t you pop into our store in Bury as we have it on display there and you can have a listen for yourself and see what you think, but we think you will be just as amazed as the cast of Hollyoaks was when they tested it out. With its small and compact size people often expect it to not sound great but that certainly isn’t the case with the Play:1. You can even pair it with other Sonos speakers to create a stereo pair or you could stream music to different rooms of your house so that no matter where you go in your home your music follows you!

So what are you waiting for? You can read more information on the Sonos Play:1 in white here of the
Sonos Play:1 in Black here.

But if you want to speak to us in person you can always give us a call on 0161 359 3011 and one of our expert team is on hand to answer any questions you might have.

Freesat launch a mobile companion app

We’ve come across a great news story so thought we would fill you in on the details as it’s something we think you will find useful!

Freesat (which some people still may not have heard of or are not too sure what it is) have now announced the launch of their mobile companion app. If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch you can download the app and make use of the basic programme guide to check out what’s on TV. You can also browse the “roll back TV guide” which allows you to have a look at what programmes you might have missed out on over the last 7 days and then watch them. You can see TV recommendations as well as browsing through hot picks for the week ahead and if there’s something that takes your fancy you can set a reminder for it so you don’t forget to watch it.

One of the best things about it though is that if you are out and suddenly remember that you forgot to set a record for your favourite programme you can do so remotely, just use the app to remotely programme your box to record it, panic over!  (To remote record as well, you will need a Freesat ID which you can get by going to freesat.co.uk/id and one of the following Freetime boxes: Freesat+ HD with Freetime 500GB or Freesat+ HD with Freetime 1TB)

In the app you can also search and find programmes from On Demand players such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4OD and Demand 5. If you have a Humax Freetime set top box you can launch one of the programmes on these directly to your TV. If you don’t yet have one of these then you can have a look at our range by clicking here.

With Freesat you can still keep your Sky subscription and box if you want to as although you need a satellite dish to be able to enjoy Freesat you can connect both your Sky and Freesat to the same box and have one playing in one room and one in another. A perfect solution if you don’t want the added expense of having to pay for another Sky service in another room, just get a Freesat box and take advantage of all the amazing channels you can find in your bedroom or kitchen for example.

So if you haven’t get got yourself a Freesat box yet with Freetime then why not have a look at our Freesat Boxes here. Or if you need a hand with anything just give us a call on 0161 359 3011 or pop in store to see us.

The Bristol Show 2014- Why go all that way when we’ve got some amazing products for you to see?

From Friday 21st February to Sunday 23rd February 2014 sees the return of the biggest AV and HiFi show of the year and attracts a range of visitors from audiophiles to AV enthusiasts from all over the UK and is now in its 29th year and if it is anything like previous years, the show can expect to see around 5,000 visitors!

As with previous years the Sound and Vision Bristol Show is offering the chance to check out products from a large number of manufacturers such as KEF, Sony, Atacama and many others as well. Visitors to the Bristol show are given the chance to see new models in person and give any feedback on the products directly to the manufacturers and is a great place to see a large number of manufacturers all under one roof being able to look at the latest electricals, TVs, AV furniture and more.

However, as it’s such a popular show, you can expect it to be crowded and full of lots of people all trying to check out the latest technology on the market so if you really don’t like crowds then the Bristol show certainly isn’t the place to be!  If you would prefer to escape from all the hustle and bustle then why not pay us a visit at Electrical Experience instead and support your local AV dealer too.

At our store in Bury you can find a wide selection of the latest products from the biggest manufacturers such as Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Sony, Toshiba, Sharp and many others as well so just as you would do at the Bristol Show, you get the chance to audition and see in person some amazingly brilliant products. As our staff in store are experts in their field, you can take the opportunity to take advantage of their wealth of knowledge and ask any questions that you may have about technology without having to worry about their being too many other people all trying to see everything at the same time too as you would find at the Bristol show! You can take your time in store and browse our product range to your hearts content! We have recently just added a demo room too so you can get a real cinematic feel for products and find out what you could achieve in your own home.

Located in Bury town centre, our Electrical Experience store is easy to commute to as well. Why travel all that way to the Bristol Show when you could pop in store to see us, no need to go all that way when we’ve got some great products right on your doorstep!

At Electrical Experience we don’t just offer a wide selection of the latest in home technology either as we also stock an extensive range of white goods too such as Washing Machines, Dishwashers, Fridges, Fridge Freezers and many more as well.

If you prefer though you can shop online from the comfort of your own home, brilliant for this time of year when the weather can be bad at times so why venture outdoors when you can find the same great products online. Ok you might not get to see them in person, but if you need any more information or need anything explaining we are always at the other end of the phone if you need any help! You can contact us on 0161 359 3011.

So this year instead of heading off to the Bristol Show, why not pay us a visit instead, either online or in-store. We look forward to hearing from you!

There's something happened over at our Bury Store but what????????

At our Electrical Experience store in Bury we have had some work going on for a while and its very near the end of being completed so we thought we would let you have a little sneaky look at it. It's very nearly there, just waiting the addition of some amazing products but for now we are keeping it a secret!!

Keep your eyes on this space for more information or if you really can't wait or don't like to be kept in suspense why not call into our store next week and see it for yourself?

Updated software on Humax HDR-1000S Freesat+ HD PVR with Freetime allows you to record whatever you want to wherever you may be!

As at Electrical Experience we like to try and keep you up to date with all the latest goings on we thought we’d fill you in on this new update available from Freesat for those of you who have one of the Humax HDR-1000S Freesat+ HD PVR with Freetime.

Basically the update means that with the Freesat App which will be available later on this month you will be able to remotely record your favourite shows whilst you are on the move, no longer will you have to be at home to set a programme to record, now you can do it whenever and wherever you like! (Via a compatible device). There are also a number of other improvements with the update too which include:

• EPG Improvements (Electronic Programme Guide)
• Confirmation prompt when deleting a recorded series
• Improved stability when changing channels in non-Freesat mode
• Improvements when reading a Media list from a NTFS formatted USB device
• Improvements to the display of Recorded Programmes when switching on from Standby
• Improvements when Copying media or Deleting recordings
• Improved display of Server contents in Humax > Media Share
• Fixed issue with YouTube Back key

To get the update you don’t have to do anything either as your box will update itself automatically but if you really can’t wait you update the box yourself by pressing Home, Settings, System settings, Software update and Search new software. (Though for the app features you will need to wait until later this month when the App will be available on the App store)

But if you haven’t yet got around to grabbing yourself one of the Humax Freesat boxes yet then now is the ideal opportunity to do so! Either give us a call, pop in store or click here for more info.
