After months of anticipation, the wait is finally over to see your favorite team score a touchdown, nail a 3-pointer or smack a homer.

While getting together with friends or heading to the stadium on game day may be on hold for a while, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the viewing experience and bring the game home. Most of us are spending more hours at home than ever before, which makes this the perfect time to invest in your space and treat yourself to an upgraded entertainment setup.

13 Apr: How To Enhance Your Home Office For The Short (Or Long) Term

The home office has gone from a luxury to a necessity in the span of just a few short weeks.

That’s because millions of Americans are now forced to work from home full time amid the COVID-19 crisis. With local stay-at-home orders likely to last for weeks to come, now is a great time to upgrade your makeshift workspace into a suitable home office for the long haul.

30 Oct: In-Home Advisor becomes lighting DJ at Halloween party

When Wendy and Paul Smith visited their local Best Buy store in Houston to learn about smart home technology, they weren’t expecting it to result in a decked-out Halloween party complete with smart lighting, speakers and more.

“I really wanted to be able to control things from an app,” Wendy said. “My No. 1 thing: I wanted to be able to put lights on a timer.”

At the store, they were told about our In-Home Consultation service and made an appointment with In-Home Advisor Angelica Fonseca to learn more about creating a smart home.

13 Feb: Lights, camera, love: Couple’s cherished tradition continues [VIDEO]

Jack and Lorene have been married for nearly 60 years.

She wasn’t impressed when she was first introduced to him. He was too quiet, she thought, not a match for her chatterbox personality. He thought she was perfect. Love’s surprising that way.

Together they built a family, traditions and a business. Through it all, they loved watching movies — just the two of them.

Then Jack suffered an aneurysm.

He recovered, but short-term memory and hearing loss remained. The technology in their home became hard for him to use and enjoy.
