San Diego technology troubleshooting, remote control programming and finding out which wire above goes where

Did your old audio/video company go out of business? Maybe you just moved into a new house and you don’t know what those 5,000 wires are doing? Need a remote control programmed and don’t know where to go? Got bad WiFi and are tired of Netflix continually stopping? Read on!

Today’s technology can be complicated and for many people, they don’t know where to turn when the above issues and other technology problems raise their head. This is why we offer what we call our “Discovery Visit”.

Our “Discovery” service allows us to arrive on site, decipher the various products and design of your set-up and to come up with a solution to make sense of your system. This also allows us to document your set-up so we can support you with service and troubleshooting in the future. Some of the elements typically uncovered during a Discovery include:

• Type of audio/video/smart home/WiFi components and the way they are being used in your particular design
• WiFi speeds in crucial areas
• Remote control programming and remote control troubleshooting
• Whole-house music or Sonos not working
• Troubleshooting products that are possibly defective
• Presenting solutions for future service and EASE OF USE
• Best practices and implementation of existing components and design going forward
• On-site tutorials of how your system operates

The cost for a Discovery visit is determined by the length of time and complexity of your system. Interested in a technology consultation? If so, give us a call and let us make sense of your TV, stereo, WiFi or home automation system.

Reason #7 why we offer the best home theater installation in San Diego: Remote monitoring and troubleshooting.

This home theater stuff has changed a LOT over the last 20 years. It used to be that when we were setting up a home stereo system, we would get your tape deck, turntable and receiver in place and the maintenance consisted of dusting your components every couple years. Now, it is a totally different world with firmware updates, software updates, voice control, power-cycling, Wi-Fi compatibility and 50 other things that can make your audio/video system get out-of-whack. Here's what we do to keep your smart home and stereo components working and to keep you smiling.

Remote visibility: We install Wi-Fi systems from Eero, Luxul and others that allow us to "see" what is going on from afar. This lets us troubleshoot remotely when you are having issues and allows us to fix most issues right over the phone. See link below about a recent fix we performed for one of our clients.

Costa Rica Remote WiFi Fix

Power resets and our friend BOB: Power-Cycling.

Q: How do you become an IT professional? A: Learn how to pick up the phone and say "Did you unplug it from the power?" Almost every one of our troubleshooting calls are fixed by some form of unplug-it-and-plug-it-back-in-again. However, how do you know what to unplug with all of those cables? Our remote IP-controllable power pieces and our BOBs make this EASY. See link below.

Netflix won't work, AppleTV issues, cable TV problems and more...here is the fix!

Here’s a smattering of the calls we get on a daily basis:

“The guide isn’t coming up on my cable box”

“Netflix stopped working…there aren’t any images”

“My Roku won’t do anything and it is frozen”

“I can’t get WiFi to work…the wheel keeps spinning”

“I’ve got no sound from my DirecTV box”

If you’re making this call, we know that audio/video troubleshooting can be frustrating and complicated. However, it doesn’t have to be!

If you’ve had a system installed with us over the last few years, you have a BIG, ORANGE BUTTON (see picture above). We liken it to magic. You push the orange button, wait 30 seconds and then push it again. Once you perform these three steps, your problems are solved!

We love the big, orange button so much we’ve thought about changing our company name to “BOB”. Don’t have a BIG, ORANGE BUTTON? Call us and let us simplify your technology with a BOB for your audio/video system or WiFi network.

NOTE: Is your system a little more complicated with racks of surround sound equipment, whole-house audio or smart home technology? We have a BOB we can install that allows us to reset things AUTOMATICALLY from anywhere in the world! We recently performed this for a client in La Jolla while we were in Costa Rica.

Call us to determine the level of BOB you need in your life.

Aire Theater Designs proudly serves all of San Diego County which includes Del Cerro, Allied Gardens, Talmadge, Kensington, Hillcrest, Mission Valley, Fashion Valley, El Cajon, Blossom Valley, La Mesa, Lake Murray, Friars, North Park, Balboa Park, Clairemont, Kearny Mesa, Mission Bay, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Imperial Beach, Pt Loma and Downtown San Diego.

Any time we get rain, winds or other weather phenomena, cable boxes all over town go haywire. No need to get bent out of shape as we've got the fix. If your TV exhibits the following behavior:

1) You have picture but no sound.
2) Your GUIDE stops working.
3) Your channel up/down don't work.
4) The cable box shows half an information bar at the bottom of the screen instead of a full one.

Here is the fix. Simply UNPLUG your cable box from the power, wait about 30 seconds and then plug it back in. Once it reboots, you should have your TV back!

Keep in mind that these problems typically happen around weather events so when a storm is coming in (like right now...it's raining and we've been getting cable-box calls all weekend), keep this information in mind.

UPDATE: Sometimes it's difficult to get to the power cord on your cable box. Want to make cable box resets easy? Add one of our BOBs to power-cycle your cable box and other components a snap! See link below.
