I needed a roof mounted antenna to get local HD channels for use with Plex TV (and an HDHomerun…read moretuner). I tried a couple different indoor antennas, but had poor reception (especially ABC). Nahem gave us a fair quote, and did a great job with the installation. Lots of communication during the process (different possibilities for where to mount the cable, where to run it into the house, etc.) The antenna is well mounted to the chimney, and the cable is neatly and tightly mounted under the eaves, and the point where it goes into the house is fully weather sealed. Nahem was able to dial in the positioning so that all stations have a strong signal (even ABC, which is notoriously difficult). I highly recommend Nahem/OTA Communications.

Research showed that our area of Sacramento (North Natomas) is capable of delivering a high number for channels through antenna with good quality signal and picture. Given this info, I then did some more research on what the best antenna for our needs would be, and how we could set ourselves up to record shows broadcast over air. After figuring out the antenna I wanted (Clearstream 2V) and the equipment we needed for recording shows (Tablo 4th Gen 4-Tuner), I then reached out to Nahem at OTA Communications to have everything installed. I am so glad I did! Nahem is the consummate professional- he came out as scheduled, explained exactly how the individual equipment would work, what he needed to do install everything, answered every question I had, and did an excellent job setting everything up. We now have 88 clear and crisp over-air channels (along with an additional 103 provided by the Tablo 4) and a dedicated resource (Naheem) who I feel I can call at any time with further questions or concerns. Premium level customer service, just a great guy who takes immense pride in his work. And now we've knocked 160.00 a month off our cable bill. Thanks Nahem!

Bay Alarm Company

Bay Alarm installation and product review…read more Last month I replaced my old security system and monitoring company. I replaced it with a security system from Bay Alarm Company. I waited for a month before writing this review because I wanted to use the system and all of it's feature, which I have done. Below is my assessment. Sales staff and Installation staff: 1. The information provided by the sales representative was easy to follow and accurate. The sales rep was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. Kudos to Tony Basurto, the sales rep and Nina Johnson, the field rep in charge of scheduling, for making my transition from the old system to the new one seamless and easy. 2. The contract is standard. Be sure to read it particularly the warranty, service, and payment language. I was ok with the contract language overall. The company requires autopay which means that they automatically bill your account on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. You choose which cycle you prefer. Also, monitoring service is billed in advance and it is much pricier than other monitoring services. Similar to other monitoring services you are locked in the contract for a select number of years. 3. The installation process was somewhat lengthy, but for a good reason. The installation team wanted to make sure that the newly installed system worked properly. Going from one system to another is not an easy job, but the team that came out did an outstanding job. There were a few hiccups that they easily resolved. Kudos to the installation team (Ricky and IT guy) for their patience with us and doing a thorough job. 4. We received a follow-up phone call from the supervisor(Seth) that we missed. Seth left a message for us to call him if we had questions about the system, or needed additional help. That was a very nice touch from the company. Security System: 1. The new system is quite easy to use and though limited, I like the features that are available. In terms of security and peace of mind that it offers, I have no complaints. I do have a few observations having used the system for a month. Those, I will discuss with the company. I do not think that it is appropriate to note them here. 2. The documentation for the system needs to be updated. I was disappointed that it did not directly correspond with the system. Some options that I tried to use or access based on the documentation did not work out as outlined in the documentation. 3. The system interface is basic. I guess that translate into easy to use. The system works great and does what it is intended to do. However, I personally think that a security system's interface can be more aesthetic, functional, and still be easy to use. I have to confess that I want it all; functionality, ease of use, whistles and bells, and visually pleasing interface. I have seen systems that meet this standard, but I did not care for the service ethics of those companies. I must also confess that the service ethics of a company trumps whistles and bells for me. And, so far Bay Alarm company's service ethics have been stellar. Billing: 1. I received the first monitoring bill last month. I had a problem that was immediately remedied. In Bay Alarms's defense, the problem was me. However, Bay Alarm resolved the issue. I would highly recommend going with this company if you need a new security system, or you plan to change your existing system. Just note that the monitoring service is higher than other companies. And, you must be clear on your expectation and realistic about what the company can provide.

We have a Bay Alarm system that was installed by the previous owners. We purchased the home 7 years…read moreago. We had our windows replaced and the installers saved the alarm sensors and pulled the wires through the window frames. Bay Alarm wanted over $1,000 to reconnect the sensors. I told them over and over this was not a new install and the wires are already pulled through, they offered me 1/2 off to sign a year long contract. After the installation, several of our hard wired windows were switched to wireless sensors because the "wires were too short". When the technicians left, we couldn't arm the system due to a fault in the garage door. I called Bay Alarm and had to wait another week for someone else to come out and repair that issue, I asked that technician why some hardwired sensors were switched to wireless and he didn't think the wires were too short. A couple weeks ago I received a text there was a problem with our radio signal on our alarm system. I called, as the text instructed me to, and they quoted me $150 to come fix the issue with their equipment which I pay a monthly fee to use. Ridiculous. I asked to speak to a manager, who walked me through how to run a test and it was working again so the service call was avoided, for now. I got a survey asking about my experience and the branch manager (Zachary) emailed me to set up a time to talk. I replied, that was a week ago-no call or reply. If Bay Alarm wasn't already installed in our home we wouldn't use their service.

#UPDATE After a little over a week of use. The caveats below…read morestill persist. One thing I've also been noticing is my screen will sometimes lag heavily. This goes for watching a video as well. Video will be choppy/laggy and this never happened to my original screen. Sometimes if I charge my phone and play music and use Apple Maps, the screen will also lag heavily I'll. Again this never happened with original screen. I've also noticed greatly that my battery % is being drained a lot faster. Even if it's regular use like how I did with my original Apple screen. I suspect it's the aftermarket screen. However, the 4 star review will still stay. Just an update. Will probably buy a new phone soon but this is still decent for $85. Great customer service. Fast service. I replaced my iPhone 15pro screen due to cracked screen. The only downside that resulted in 4/5 star is the aftermarket screen. It's great for a quick on the go if you don't want to spend $180+ for an original screen. The lighting on the aftermarket screen does have a light blue led color to it and it is not as vibrant as an orignal Apple screen. This you can tell. I don't mind this as my eyes will get adjusted to it. However, my biggest gripe to where I can tell a big difference on is the lag input on swiping. Just swiping the Home Screen to the next screen, the apps become blurry and it isn't a smooth transition. Another, big issue is the touch screen. I did put another screen protector layer on top of the new after market seal (the seal is part of a warranty depending on if it breaks or not). So I decided to try and protect my screen further. Upon doing so, I can tell a big difference in typing my letters especially the letters to the side of the screen "A a S P L & backspace". I now have to press my screen ALOT harder to register the letter I want. I find myself having to backspace and retype my words a lot more as pressing the letters do not register sometimes. Sometimes swiping from bottom screen up to close an app also does not work and I would have to press my screen hard to swipe up. Overall, this is a good purchase for a quick $85 on the go. If you do not mind the caveats I have listed here (maybe it's just my screen) then $85 is great. Other than that, you may want to spend more and get an original Apple screen.

They quickly ordered the correct replacement screen for my model and had me back in just two days later to complete the repair. After the fix, my phone did show a notification stating: "Unknown Part: The display for this iPhone is not recognized. An Apple Authorized Service Provider can repair or replace the display to restore full functionality." Personally, I see this more as Apple's way of limiting repair options rather than a reflection on the quality of the work. The shop was able to work around the notification/issue, and restored my phone so that it was fully functional again. Of course, if you have the budget to go directly through Apple, that will always ensure an original part and complete manufacturer support. But for those of us who can't afford to replace a device every time life happens, this repair was a reliable, cost-effective solution.
