Link Your House a National Finalist
 
Atlanta, Georgia – March 1, 2010

Each year the Consumer Electronics Association recognizes the nation’s best Custom Installers through its Mark of Excellence Awards Program, and Link Your House has been named a finalist in the Luxury Home of the Year category for 2010.

“It’s certainly flattering to be recognized by the CEA,” says Frank DeFilippis of Link Your House, “but the ultimate award for us will always be a delighted client.”

2010 marks the fourth year in a row that Link Your House has been named a National Finalist. Link Your House was named the National Winner in 2007 for Excellence in Production Home integration and again in 2009 for Excellence in Universal Systems Design.  Link Your House was named a National runner up in 2008 for Excellence in Retrofit Installations.

Link Your House relies on technology from premier equipment manufacturers including Crestron Electronics, Home Logic, Elan Home Systems, Russound, Denon, HAI and RTI to create award-winning custom installations.

Winners of the 2010 Mark of Excellence will be named at the Annual CEA Awards Banquet, held on March 26, 2010 in Orlando, Florida. A complete listing of all 2010 CEA Mark of Excellence Finalists can be found at: http://www.ce.org/Events/Awards/2010_MoE_Finals.asp?type=2.

Founded in 1997, TiVo, a pioneer in home entertainment, created a brand-new product and service category with the development of the world's first digital video recorder (DVR). Today, the company continues to revolutionize the way consumers watch and access home entertainment, by making the TiVo DVR the focal point of the digital living room: a center for sharing and experiencing television, movies, video downloads, music, photos, and more.

TiVo HD - Best high-definition cable DVR - Except for a smaller hard drive and more-generic cosmetics, the TiVo HD delivers, essentially, the same feature set as the earlier Series3 model, but for a much more reasonable $300. In addition to TiVo's best-in-class interface, you'll also get a panoply of Internet and network-friendly features: Multi-Room Viewing; TiVoToGo; downloadable videos from TiVoCast and Amazon's Unbox; Internet radio; Rhapsody; podcasts; streaming of music and photos from a networked PC; and online scheduling control. In other words, the TiVo HD is a full-service network media device that runs circles around those "free" DVRs from your cable company.

Link Your House is being named for innovative use of custom electronics to facilitate the virtues of Universal Design. “Universal Design is typically a consideration when creating an environment for a user with a disability,” says Frank DeFilippis, VP Systems Design for Link Your House. “But every system we install stands to be better if we design to accommodate our client’s lifestyle and ability rather than forcing them to adapt to our system.”

Winners will be recognized at the Mark of Excellence Awards Dinner on Friday, March 13 at the Rosen Center Hotel in conjunction with the tenth annual Electronic House Expo (EHX) Spring 2009, in Orlando, Florida.

Each year manufacturers, distributors and systems integrators enter to compete in award categories for this coveted honor. Each of the TechHome Mark of Excellence Awards categories has a four-member judging team comprised of systems integrators, manufacturers, members of the trade press and industry consultants to determine both finalists and winners.
