TV & SKY Communal System Installation

At Install an Aerial we have a vast experience in the installation of TV and SKY communal systems. We can assist you at all stages, from initial installation to on-going servicing or maintenance and repair.

An integrated reception system (IRS) provides broadcast signals from multiple sources (typically terrestrial television, FM radio, DAB digital radio and satellite TV) to multiple outlets, via a single aerial cluster and signal booster-distributor. The most obvious use for such a system is in communal housing blocks, where one aerial cluster can replace many aerials serving individual dwellings e.g. flats or apartments.

Because the booster-distributor boxes within systems usually need replacing to cope with digital terrestrial TV signals, many landlords are opting to replace the entire system with IRS at the time of digital terrestrial TV switchover, thereby reducing the clutter of (in particular) satellite TV dishes which have appeared on many communal housing blocks since the 1990’s.
