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.

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.

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!

Panasonic’s TX-L24X6B 24” HD LED TV gets awarded 5 stars out of 5 From What Hi-Fi Magazine

Panasonic have already this year had a number of impressive five star awards from What Hi Fi and now they have added yet another one for the amazing 24” LED TV, the TX-L24X6B.

Panasonic’s TX-L24X6 might only be a compact size at 24” but that certainly doesn’t mean it loses out as with its spec and imagery produced its every bit as good as its larger counterparts.

So what makes this TV so brilliant you might wonder? Well let’s take a look at what it has to offer and then you can decide for yourself! Compared to other similar sized TVs from other manufacturers it may seem a little on the expensive side, however the benefits you get from the set well make it worth its price tag. 


Brilliant picture reproduction no matter what you are watching
Whatever content you decide to throw at the TXL24X6B you get the same imagery on screen which is in a word amazing. The LED backlight panel provides an impressive level of colour and contrast with true to life details so that even the smallest of detail is shown on screen. Blacks are deep and inky yet whites are bright and crisp and at no point does the image appear unrealistic, images are true to life and natural. You can even use the Panasonic TXL24X6 straight from the box and get a brilliant picture without having to fiddle and mess with picture settings.

Its wide viewing angle ensures that no matter where you sit to watch you get the same amazing reproduction without having to miss out on brightness or image quality.

Offers you Wi-Fi built in and comprehensive Networking functionality
Without the need for a dongle or Ethernet connection (though you can still connect via Ethernet if you want to) you can make use of the built in Wi-Fi which is offered as standard on the 24X6B to connect to your home Wi-Fi and enjoy its full web browser. Browse your favourite websites as your leisure and make use of its apps such as Facebook, Twitter, catch up TV and others to enjoy content on screen.

With a full keyboard option available when using your Smartphone or Tablet surfing the internet and finding your favourite content is simple. Comprehensive networking with the X6 series allows you to stream video, photos and music from other source such as your PC using DLNA technology or make use of the USB or SD card slot to enjoy music via the dedicated music player.

A bespoke experience is provided on the TX-L24X6B via the “My Home Screen” which basically allows you to quickly and easily access your favourite things such as apps, games, calendar reminders and notes. With different home screens for different people in your family you can really personalise it to you allowing you to find whatever you want quickly and simply.

Enjoy more content with Freeview HD

. 
So whilst the Panasonic TX-L24X6B isn’t one of the bigger size screens on the market, the functionality/features provided make it more than just a small screen TV.

With the New Year fast approaching time for old with the old and in with the new maybe?

With a new year approaching, many people have an “out with the old and in with the new” mentality. Many of us see this as the time for a new start with lots of us making New Year’s resolutions that we will try to stick to (though most of us will fail miserably at this!). So if this New Year you are looking for something new a great idea for this is to have a look at upgrading your home entertainment system and keep yourself entertained throughout the rest of the cold winter months.  

There are a number of great ways you can look at to upgrade your home entertainment system and they don’t have to cost a fortune either so we’ve got a number of suggestions for you. Making even a small change really does make a difference!

1. Soundbar: These are a great addition to your TV and offer a number of benefits. Soundbars have become more and more popular over the last year with the main reason being that they are slim and space saving and allow you to get top quality sound reproduction for both movies and music without taking up a lot of room, perfect for those of you who don’t have room for a full on home cinema system. As most TVs are slim nowadays the sound reproduction isn’t brilliant so adding one of these allows you to get amazing sound effects and to listen to your favourite music in style. They are not complicated either and with most offering HDMI connectivity it’s as simple as plug in and use.  With soundbars on offer from a whole range of manufacturers such as LG, Samsung, Panasonic and others you can select from a wide range too. So why not have a look at our range here.
2. Blu-Ray DVD player: With a lot of films now being released on Blu-ray it’s the ideal time to think about getting yourself one if you haven’t got one already. You can find our range by clicking here.
3. All in one cinema system: If you have got an amazing TV but don’t have the sound to match it then these are an ideal solution to your needs. You can select from 2.1ch, 5.1ch or 7.1ch systems that really do make a difference and watching movies will be a whole new experience, making you feel as though you are back in the movie theatre. They don’t have to cost a lot either as with many to choose from such as those from LG, Samsung, Panasonic and others as well you are sure to find something to suit your budget. Click here to see our range.

Of course if you can manage to stretch your budget a little further and haven’t yet got yourself one of the latest Full HD 1080p or 3D Smart TVs yet then now is the perfect excuse to treat yourself for the New Year. Have a look at our full range by clicking here or why not pay us a visit at our store in Bury and see them for yourself. At Electrical Experience we’ve got a wide range in store partnered with an expert sales team who are on hand to help you pick the best one for you or to explain anything you are not sure about so we look forward to seeing you soon. 

In the meantime we wish you all the best for the New Year, but if you need us in the meantime why not give us a call on 0161 359 3011!

Or maybe you want to treat yourself to a well-deserved gift, maybe that Full HD 3D LED TV that you have been after all year? Well no need to despair as at Electrical Experience we really have got the experience you need in the run up to Christmas Day.

Call in store to see one of our team this “Panic Saturday” and you can be guided through a selection of the latest technology on the market including 3D TVs, Home Cinema Systems, Smart TVs, Soundbars, Projectors and many more too. It’s not all just about brown goods though as we also stock a large range of home appliances too such as Washing Machines, Dishwashers, Fridge Freezers, Vacuum Cleaners and more as well.

(Although we can’t be held responsible if you end up buying so much more after being spoilt by all the technology on offer!)

It’s not all about spending a fortune either as we have a wide range of goods and making a small change to things such as adding a Soundbar to your TV can change your whole entertainment experience.

Blu-Ray 3D:Your essential guide of what you need to know

Now that 3D technology has been around for some time you might be fooled into thinking that it’s something that everyone understands and is making use of. However, as some of us can often be afraid to try out new technology and think it’s something that could be complicated so don’t take the leap. At Electrical Experience though we don’t like to leave any of our customers in the dark or confused by the latest technology on the market so thought we’d try and explain things for you and maybe convince you to try out 3D Blu-ray.
It’s really simple to understand. Maybe the first thing to explain is what is a 3D TV? It’s essentially a TV that adds a level of depth to the picture, giving you amazing images that are appear to you as if they are popping out of the TV screen and that you could reach out and touch them. 3D stands for 3 Dimensional and there are 2 types of 3D, Active 3D and Passive 3D and at the moment both types require you to wear glasses to view the 3D images.
Active 3D requires the use of glasses that have built in shutters that basically switch images in front of your eyes at a high speed to give you a 3D effect whilst passive 3D uses glasses that have polarised filters and are low cost. Both have advantages and disadvantages, the main one being cost as the active glasses are a lot more expensive to buy and need to be recharged often where passive ones can be picked up cheaply and don’t need any charging at all. Whichever system you decide on though generally you find that manufacturers include a number of sets of glasses with the TV sets so you can get going with your 3D viewing straight away.
So to enjoy 3D Blu-Ray discs what will you need?

• Most obviously you will need a 3D TV! Whether this be passive or Active it’s completely up to you.
• 3D Glasses.
• A 3D Blu-Ray Disc player. There are a number of these to choose from and most of the ones on the market now are 3D compatible. You can have a look at our range by clicking here or give us a call and we will advise you on the best one for you. If you have got a Sony PS3 you can even make use of this as they can play 3D Blu-ray movies.
• A 3D Blu-ray Disc: There are now a large collection of these available to buy now so you should be able to find your favourite movies easily. There are more being added too as they are released. You can also play 3D Blu-Ray discs on a regular DVD player too  (but obviously you won’t get 3D playback just regular 2D)

So if you haven’t yet dived into the world of 3D then what are you waiting for as you are missing out on some amazing visual effects. Give us a call on 0161 359 3011 if you need anymore help or why not pop instore and you can see the effects of 3D Blu-Ray for yourself.

LGs new addition to its already impressive array of apps on their Smart TVs

Courtesy of What Hi Fi Magazine we have come across a news story we thought we would share with you all as we like to try and keep up to date with the latest news and developments as they happen!

We have now discovered that LG is adding in Mid-December the music streaming service Spotify to their range of apps available on their 2013 model smart TVS. Making use of the app will allow you to gain access to over 20 million songs so there is bound to be something to suit your taste and you won’t get fed up of listening to the same playlists over and over!

One drawback to this though is that you have to have a Spotify Premium Account which will set you back £9.99 but with the range of songs that you can select from and listen to we think this does offer excellent value for money. As a bonus though you do get a free months trial period so you won’t be losing anything if you just want to try it out and see if it’s for you! If you think about it buying that latest CD you want will set you back perhaps more than this and will probably only have around 20 tracks on it from one artist maybe.

With Spotify you really are spoilt for choice and can choose what to listen to and create your own favourite playlists to access whenever you want. You can also easily share your favourite music and playlists with others too via Facebook and Twitter if you want to.

So if maybe you haven’t yet invested in one of LGs Smart TVs yet then it’s the ideal time to grab one. You can have a look at our range of LG SMART TVS HERE as with other services on LGs Smart TV platform including BBC iPlayer, LoveFilm, Netflix and also access to gaming apps too it's not just about listening to music but about enjoying a whole range of other content too.

Just look at this example of an LG Smart TV as not only does it offer some amazing entertainment options with its range of apps, but it also looks stunning too!

Did you know in the UK we will watch an estimated 86 Million hours of TV this Christmas?

We have just come across this snippet of news courtesy of AV Forums and Samsung so thought we’d fill you in on it!

Samsung have been looking into the way we watch TV and what our viewing habits are and have predicted that in the UK we will watch a mammoth 86 Million hours of TV over the festive Christmas period! That is certainly some hours of TV viewing for us all. Most interesting though is that one in ten of us will turn our TV sets on at 10am (maybe after the best time of the day is done with which is unwrapping all of your gifts!) and a third of us will keep the TV turned on all day. (Although it has been found that in the South west of England that the peak time for turning on the TV is 3pm!)

So what kind of things are we watching on our TV sets you might ask? Well according to Samsung we consider festive programs to include the annual Queens Christmas Speech which come ahead of Christmas specials!

Not unsurprisingly though 15 million hours of our viewing time has been predicted to be watched on Catch Up TV services as we often don’t get chance to watch our favourite content over the Christmas period (or end up arguing as to who gets to watch what!)

However if you don’t currently have a TV set that will allow you to access Catch Up TV then this could be a problem! So in time for all the great TV Shows and Movies that are shown at Christmas then why not treat yourself to a new TV perhaps as we have a great range in stock that you can find by clicking here. Or perhaps you cant stretch your budget that far to be able to get a new TV then don’t panic as why not invest in a Freesat Box such as those available from Humax, have a look at these by clicking here.

Or maybe another way to ensure you don’t miss your favourite content this Christmas time would be to pick up a hard disc recorder and watch your favourite programmes and movies whenever you choose. We have a range available such as the Panasonic DMR-HWT130 perhaps?

No matter what you are watching this festive season though you are sure to find something to suit your tastes and we wish you all a Happy Christmas and New Year!
