All our installations are validated against system specification regulations and health and safety executive guidelines and thus on completion you receive certification which qualifies the installation for insurance purposes.

If your system does not meet these regulations the company owners could be liable to prosecution including an unlimited fine and imprisonment in the event of any injury to any residents or employees

The types of aerial system we provide are:-

MATV
 
Master Antenna TV (MATV) systems have been used for many years providing terrestrial television and radio reception for multi occupied dwellings, serving single blocks to complete estates.  MATV systems essentially consist of an aerial system, head-end electronics, which may include filters, amplifiers, channel cluster equalizers, etc., and a distribution network comprising coaxial cable, splitters, taps (also called tap-off units) and outlet sockets.  Allowing the customer to use Freeview and DAB FM, this system is normally found in existing blocks of flats and will not provide the client with digital satellite.

SMATV

Satellite Master Antenna TV (SMATV) systems have been used to extend the MATV
concept to include services broadcast by satellite. Satellite TV signals are received,
demodulated, decrypted where necessary, and re-modulated on UHF carriers. This type of system is usually found in hotel systems or prisons.  A head-end is constructed containing a number of satellite receivers which are distributed throughout the system allowing the client to view the selected channels via the tv in the room. These systems usually provide a selection of news and entertainment channels

IRS Integrated reception systems 

Installation of an Integrated Reception System (IRS) gives residents a choice of free
or pay television services from terrestrial or satellite, or even both at the same time
provided they have obtained the necessary receiving equipment.

The most common option is the 5 wire system which provides BSKYB services and
Freeview along with DAB and FM. Dependent on type of building or client’s requirements 9 wire and 17 wire systems can be installed, these systems provide satellite services from other orbital positions i.e.: 13e deg carrying subscription channels and many free to air channels. Many different combinations of satellites can be installed depending on the client’s requirements.
Each satellite position will require 4 cables so a 9 wire can receive 2 satellites and a
17 wire can receive 4 satellites.

Services Available

Customers receive all of the following services via an IRS system:

FM radio
Digital audio broadcasts (DAB)
Digital TV (Freeview)
Analogue terrestrial TV
Sky, Freesat digital satellite TV
Broadcasts from other satellites
CCTV relayed as UHF TV channels

An integrated reception system (IRS) can deliver all these services on a single
coaxial drop-in cable to each viewing location.
