For a few states, football season doesn't really end. There's just a six-month-long pre-game show after the Super Bowl (or the Rose Bowl). Whether college or NFL, Texas is no exception.

In a splintered, niche-heavy entertainment world, most of the U.S. still loves its sports, especially on live TV. Grandpas and vegan daughters both still root for the Longhorns.

Good clean fun becomes great with an effortless, high-definition, sound and experience in TV.

For Everything, There is a Season: Football or Otherwise 

With expanded options, there are sports, and more, for everyone

• Regional sports and international: college lacrosse, FIFA world cup, Olympics
• Backyard movie night: the kiddos, a fire pit, and s'mores (perfect setting for Amazon Fire  TV)
• That wholesome but goofy Mom and Dad channel on YouTube you and your child enjoy together

And, for many guys, the backyard TV and s'mores sounds like a good time, with or without the kids, but with the game on.

Everyday Speaker Sounds of Audio and Video

Live sports, to Pandora, to FM to on-demand DVR'd reality shows. Broadcast or recorded sound is a century old. 

On-demand sound evolution:

• Turntable records
• Car radio 
• Box-rocker portable stereos 
• Modern-day: stand-alone media room in our pocket or on our wrist 

One-way and two-way audio systems are a non-stop feature in the 21st century. Waking up, working, and falling asleep to a preferred sound, such as music, is a constant for many people. 

The holidays are full of celebrating with family, traveling, and hopefully, a little relaxation and fun. We spend a season rushing around and buying gifts, decorating, and baking. But after everyone goes home and the decorations are put away, it's time to get back to our day to day.

But this shift also signals a great time to evaluate our lives. From finances to our relationships, we can take stock of where we might have deficits and plan how to fix them. The beginning of the year is a great time to assess your home and what repairs or upgrades you might need. And at the top of that list should be your home security system. If you don't have one, this might be the year to discuss with your Control4 dealer how you can integrate one with your home automation system.
