Home Office

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

With more people now choosing to work from home, Q Dot has developed valuable knowledge in what is required to set-up a fully functioning Home Office environment.

If you’re looking to add phone or fax lines to your home, or wanting a complete hard-wired data system, Q Dot has a licensed cabling technician that can help.

Perhaps you’re not getting the broad band speed that you’re paying for? This is an all too familiar problem that can normally be solved from within your home.  Q Dot prides itself on getting greater broad band speeds. If you want to know the speed your internet is currently running at, the following link provides a free test: http://www.speedtest.net.

Q Dot’s ADSL optimisation is carried out by only using products that conform to Australian standards and that are approved by Telstra. We can also fit central filters to get rid of noisy lines and frustrating line drop outs.

If you’re worried about wireless security, fed-up with the slow speeds when other people in your home are using the same wireless network, Q Dot can solve this problem by wiring your premises with data cabling and network points to allow everyone to gain access to the network (without the slow down).

Q Dot offers the following Home Office services:

  • Phone cabling
  • Phone connections
  • Pre –wiring
  • Line fault detection
  • New phone and fax points
  • Data cabling
  • Network cabling
  • Home office design
  • ADSL speed faults

TV Antennas

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Looking for the perfect picture? We can certainly help.

If you have poor picture quality, it may be something as simple as re-aligning your existing antenna or upgrading your antenna points. Q Dot has the latest in digital reception test equipment to ensure we can solve your picture problems.

If you need a new antenna, Q Dot can advise you on the best requirements to suit your situation. All our antennas are not only Australian made, but manufactured here in Melbourne. This means that they are specifically designed for the changeable Victorian weather conditions and are made from heavy duty extruded aluminium, (which is significantly stronger than the rolled aluminium used by many other antenna manufacturers), and come with a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.

If you’re finding that your signal is too low, even with a new antenna or you want lots of TV points, then you may need an amplifier (booster) fitted. Q Dot can provide and install a range of different boosters to suit your needs.

If you’re looking to upgrade to Freeview, Q Dot can supply a range of Freeview set top boxes. We will also install Freeview which includes a demonstration on how to operate it.

With the current change from analogue to digital (i.e. Freeview) some people are experiencing problems with their TV reception. If you’re getting ‘poor or no signal’ come up on your TV, or you’re finding that the picture freezes, this is likely to be caused by low signal, you may not need a new antenna as some technicians are telling people, instead a simple re-alignment or reconnection of cables may boost your signals enough to solve the problem.

For more information on Freeview and the channels available check out the government’s Freeview website: http://freeview.com.au.
