TV & Audio

Increasingly, its more common to watch TV and movies from somewhere not inside the home.  We watch on the go; on the bus or train or at the airport, or even at the office on a  break.  That’s where Slingbox can help you enjoy your downtime. It allows you to watch shows from your home’s cable or satellite box, from anywhere at any time.

Is your home theatre a mess? Do you avoid inviting friends over for movie night or to watch the game because you’re embarrassed that your entertainment area looks more like a mad scientist’s evil lair? Never fear. As part of Home Theatre Month, we’ll show you how to tidy up your home theatre like a real superhero.

If you want a true Hollywood movie experience at home, technically you shouldn’t even be looking at flat panel TVS.  For you, friend, a projector is the way to go.  There are all kinds of great reasons to pick a projector, and if you’re new to the technology, or you’re of the age where you had to watch slides over a weak and dusty beam, take heart.  We’ll help you figure it out.

Forget live TV. It’s all about streaming television these days. But how do you get the awesome streaming content from a service onto your large screen TV? We highlight a few devices that make this super easy.

While most of my friends like to go out on Saturday night, I enjoy staying in and catching up on the latest TV series with a big bowl of popcorn. When winter rolls around, that’s exactly what I’ll be doing. So it’s very fitting that September is dedicated to home theatre at Best Buy. Let’s get ready for hibernation by setting up an entertainment centre that includes a 4K TV and all the accessories for the ultimate viewing experience.  

It’s the speaker that doesn’t look like a speaker, and Samsung’s new Radiant-360 R7 speaker’s odd football shape is what gives it an edge over conventional speakers.  Made to kick out sound in every direction it’s the speaker that you may find will score a touchdown for your home theatre.

Watching TV has come a long way over the years. With all the ever changing technology there are always ways to amp up your home theatre, making movie night something to look forward to. This month it is home theatre month so read on for some cool must have accessories for your home theatre.

We spend so much time in front of our TVs and with our home entertainment systems that it is an absolute shame if it isn’t set up perfectly. Or worse yet, we don’t quite have the right system for the size and shape of our favorite room. Sure, today’s technology is great but also fairly complicated and fine-tuning every element of your home entertainment system will make it look and sound fantastic. Geek Squad is your insurance policy to ensure your system does what it is designed to do, and to maximize your entertainment value.

Earbuds are always my go-to when I’m listening to music because I don’t like over the ear cans as much. In the dozens of pairs I’ve owned or tested, however, I’ve never had one with a heartrate monitor until now. SMS Audio’s BioSport earbuds partner with the RunKeeper app to help you keep track of your workout pacing and heartrate. If you don’t care about that as much, the wireless Sync by 50 earbuds provide a rechargeable and fully wireless listening experience. Come take a look at both.

Sound or silence? You don’t usually have much control over how loud your world is going to be. Until I tried a pair of Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling in-ear headphones, I had no idea the value of blocking out background noise. Whether you’re on a train, plane, bus, studying in a library, or in my case, constantly in rooms full of small people, noise cancelling headphones will block everything but whatever you’re really trying to hear.
