I recently decided to add Roku to my not-smart television set-up and, after many attempts to find…read moreout how it should be done, I hit a wall. The idea came to me that a specialist in home entertainment systems may be able to help me, This was last Saturday so I called Custom Automation Technologies, Inc. in New Albany who were open until 6 pm. The owner, Dan Hoehnen, answered my call, talked with me about my system, and said he would come out that same afternoon and take care of it. Which he did, for about 1.5 hours he skillfully integrated a Roku stick into my mini-network which consists of an 11 year old plasma TV, a DVR, Spectrum cable box, a 11 year old DVD player all controlled by an 11 year old Bose Life Style sound system. Others had failed at this integration task, but Dan knew exactly what had to be done. He explained every step as he worked so that when he was finished I had full Roku capability on my system. He also explained how I should access and use the new feature, even helping me to document every step in the process. To top it off, he invited me to call him anytime I have a problem or a question. In summary, I could not be happier with the service provided by Mr. Hoehnen and CATI. The service was fast, expert, courteous and totally effective. Thank you, Dan and CATI! A very happy, happy customer

I also see that they are open till 11pm, which makes sense because one of their reps knocked on my door at 1030pm, and rang the doorbell. Woke the kid on a school night, got us out of bed, confused the dogs so much that they didn't even bark. He launched into his spiel that he had just sold our neighbor a system, and all the wondrous free things they got. My wife politely told him we weren't interested. He plowed on with details of their service. I rudely told him to leave, and not ring any more doorbells in the dark, hoping to save our neighbors from being woken. I feel a little bad for him, because someone sent him out into the night to do this. What kind of company does that, to their employees and their potential customers? If I had had any interest in Vivent, this experience crushed it. And then reading others' experiences poured water on the embers and stomped on them.

This year, on one of the few nice days we had, I decided to sit on the patio and listen to some music. Unfortunately one of the speakers blew out and it was unlistenable. I called the Theater People to service the speakers knowing that it was well beyond the warranty. They came and found a chipmunk chewed threw one of the wires. They also found that the speakers had a lifetime warranty. They ordered the replacement speaker and came about a week later to install it. Although I paid for the visit, the speaker was replaced for free. I recommend the Theater People for your AV needs. Thanks Scotty.

These guys are top-notch…read more I had bought all the items I needed for my surround system separately, I knew what I wanted and could afford. ResAv was more than happy to do the custom install. We worked on a plan and it was up to them to execute the plan. At the last minute I decided to use Sonance in-wall speakers instead of what I had bought, so some tweaking was done in the process. No problem. (By the way the Sonance speakers made all the difference in sound and especially look) ResAv did all the custom wiring. In some cases it was difficult. My crawl space is not small, but not large either. They installed the connections to the receiver. No problem. The result is a clean looking and superb sounding A/V system ready to handle anything I throw at it. Over the three years they have always been there for information, consulting, and on-site when I need for that to happen. Pricing is competitive. In an industry where you usually don't get what you pay for, you can count on that with ResAv. They are honest, hard-working, creative, and VERY knowledgeable people. Don't look any further, give Aaron or Mike a call.

I know a handful of friends/family that have used ResAV and they all say the same thing, "best in town." My guess is the "business owner" that gave the unfavorable review was asking for the moon. Also to note, this is a small business Custom Integrator, not a 1-800 fix it. So running a service call, for a speaker issue that was installed by whomever and whenever, won't be top priority. Nice attempt with, "as well as asking for a price on an accessory," I doubt it.

The monitoring center are quick to call in the event of an alarm, and they are always very concerned and polite. I installed my system over a year ago, and suretyCAM has stood the test of time.
