David Audio & Video Installations

David installed an antenna and digital tuner at our house in the Riverdale area of Toronto. We now receive 15 channels -- all Canadian stations, as well as NBC, ABC, CBS, and PBS from Buffalo -- free. It will take 2 years to payback the installation cost, but worth it -- reception is usually superb -- we are particularly pleased with PBS reception. There were a number of problems to solve with the installation, including intermittent audio, which turned out to be a setting on the tuner. David didn't want to be paid for coming out again to clear up the issue, but we paid anyway -- he straightened out the wiring for our surround sound audio at the same time. Knowledgeable, hard working, attentive to safety issues with the antenna (needed grounding) made him a joy to work with. High recommended.

I was moving and needed help dismounting, transporting, and remounting my 55" LCD from my old place to my new place. I called David and we discussed the project over the phone. He gave me an honest assessment of the cost and effort required (a rarity).

On the day of the move, David was prompt and did the work with care. We encountered some unforeseen circumstances when re-mounting the TV at our new house, and David walked us through the options thoroughly and clearly.

David is conscientious worker and he did a stellar job. I can't recommend him more highly.

David took on our office project with enthusiasm providing purchase recommendations, logistics and installation services. We purchased several wall-mount flat screen TV's and a large 160" retractable projection screen. He installed all of them, as well as a sound system. We're very pleased and will continue to use David for any of our future A/V needs.

We called David to help us to install an older home entertainment centre in the basement of our new house. He was able to come quickly (on a Saturday morning) and did an excellent job.

My audio video system set up was a little more complicated since I have a sound bar amp and integrated amp for specific source playback in one room. David was able to set it all up exactly the way I wanted it and program my universal remote so all of my equipment could be controlled easily. I appreciated his attention to detail and his conscientious work ethic. He patiently gave me a tutorial on how everything was to be operated. I would recommend David to anyone looking for someone responsible, reliable and
personable to set up their home theatre system. Also, if you need audio video equipment, he can get anything you need at great prices below retail.

David is the consummate professional. He is very meticulous in his work. He mounted my 60" LED, sorted and labelled all the various cables and then undertook the task of getting my speakers to work as intended. He takes the time to explain what he is doing and what the result will be for that task. The previous owner of my home did a less than stellar job on installing wall speakers. David was able to sort it all out where I now have a much better sound system. I would highly recommend David and will definitely use his services again.

Recently moved into a house with a pre-wired sound system. I had my own home theatre set up and I needed help integrating the two.

David was prompt in replying to my call and catered to my schedule, made the trip and was ready to work on day 1. He looked at what I had and saw my vision of my home and helped bridge the two. He gave me options and educated me on the pros and cons of each. He provided equipment and always had it on hand - not delaying work. His work was very clean and organized and the end product is one I'm very satisfied with. I've already reccomended him to friends and wanted to reccomend him to the internet as well!

Recently purchased a new home theatre system. Had difficulty with the installationa nd activating all components together.
Contacted David - very professional and efficient. Was able to come same day.
Quickly and effecti\vely he figued out where the problems were, corrected the setup, and completed under the estinated cost.
I would definitely recommend David's services.

Like many consumers of electronics, the appeal of a new TV , receiver and bluray etc very quickly outpace the knowledge we have. Setup and operation of these units, multiple cables , connections, remotes etc leave us with an inoperable system , that we seem powerless to get up and running. After having spent 3 to 4 hours trying on my own as well as 2 to 3 hours on the web without success in finding understandable and useable information , I turned to Homestars , where I found David Audio & Video. I called and arranged to have David install my system professionally.
David Chivers not only setup the units , but explained how they worked , and suggested options for future improvement if they should become necessary.
I would recommend David to anyone , especially those who have reached their frustration limit and who want professional , knowledgeable and efficient assistance at a reasonable rate.
Thanks for your help David
