Communal Television via IRS - The Best Solution for Landlords and Residents

A communal Integrated Reception System (IRS) is the best and only practical way to provide everything for everyone - all digital and analogue services to every household or flat. With the full range of services delivered to their homes, residents can make their own choice as to which they use to suit their requirements and financial capabilities.

The benefits of a communal reception system

Whether you are a private landlord, a commercial builder or a housing association. There is an expectation from tenants to be able to receive any combination of Sky, Sky HD, Freesat, Freeview and radio services in their apartment or flat.

With the Integrated Reception System Communal TV Solution all of these services are available throughout your building(s) from a single satellite dish and aerial. This can avoid disputes with tenants who want to put up their own satellite dish or aerial, will help keep town planners involvement to a minimum and will of course ensure your property remains cosmetically desirable.

Other communal TV systems and the Digital Switchover

Master Antenna TV system (MATV) - Generally older MATV systems are unsuitable for carrying the freeview digital television services and they will need to be replaced. This is because the type of control equipment and cables degrade over time and are unsuitable to carry all the digital signals adequately.

Satellite Master Antenna TV system (SMATV) - This Type of system is designed to incorporate a number of satellite channels which are then combined with the analogue or digital services on to a cable distribution system for viewing on a standard TV receiver at each TV point. These types of systems are limited and are generally used in hotels, prisons, hospitals and care homes. In some most cases these systems can be upgraded to receive Freeview but not satellite.
