Communal TV Systems

IRS Supplied, Installed and Serviced by Aerials 4U

Integrated Reception Systems offer sophisticated technology which delivers a top quality signal, and therefore fantastic reception on both TV and radio equipment. This is possible because it is able to make use of multiple signals from different channels to forward on to multiple receivers.

IRS is perfect for projects where large communities of individual rooms or offices, need to each receive a separate signal without having to use multiple aerials.

Because satellite signals use a high broadcast frequency, this procedure causes them sometimes to lose a little of the signal in the process. Careful planning of the IRS prevents this, as it uses a cable of a higher quality and specification and higher standard of equipment. It is sometimes a little more expensive but saves money over time and is a less intrusive installation.

 

Why is IRS the perfect solution?

  • It provides Satellite, TV and Radio aerial signals that can be shared amongst multiple points
  • It is perfect for communal areas where a satellite, digital and analogue aerial signal is required
  • The user does not have the hassle of having to put in place their own aerial points, as the IRS provides them in an easily accessible format
  • The user or tenant does not need to get onto the roof: the IRS connection points are provided in a safe location

Ideally based in Surrey, we can provide your premises with a fully Integrated Reception System wherever you are located within the UK. If you are looking for other options, then we can also supply and fit MATV, SMATV and IPTV services.

Our fully commercial service runs parallel to our domestic line of work, which provides consumers at home with such things as digital Freeview, Sky TV and even foreign satellite channels. Contact us now for access to our first class service and effortless installation of your IRS system.

I live in a communal block and after 5 days of no tv service, buying a new cable, factory resetting my tv box a million times I emailed the estate. The receptionist phoned the next day to book me in. The earliest appointment was a week away. I explained I was registered disabled and relied on my television. She phoned the engineer and he said he would come straight away - and he did. Had the communal aerial fixed and working in 20 mins. A super star company.

We’ve used this company several times to instal a new satellite dish and then to add new cable feeds to different rooms in my mother’s house. The service from both Hannah in the office and Warren, the engineer, has been first class, the 5 star rating is not high enough! I can definitely recommend.

A brilliant small family business! Very friendly & accommodating. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

The Service

A Sky Q ready upgrade is an enhancement to the existing communal system where a DSCR (Digital Single Cable Router – switch containing Sky Q –Ready technology) switch is fitted at the head end (Location of switches and other equipment) allowing anyone that wants Sky Q to be connected.  This new switch will work with either Sky Q or Sky+ customers.

There are 4 main sections of an IRS Installation:

  • The Design
  • The Roof Works
  • The Riser / Internal Works
  • Commission and Testing

We will work with your requirements and your budget to produce a system that not only works for you at the moment, but is adaptable with future demands of TV viewing.

  • The Design – We will asses the exact amount of Flats / Cables that will require a connection to the system, and provide electronics and set up that will suit.
  • The Roof Works – We will provide and install a Satellite Dish and TV/FM/DAB Aerial to enable a wide range of choices for your future clients.
  • Riser / Internal Works – Some form of Electronics (dependent on requirements) will be installed with the capacity required to enable easy connectivity and viewing for all.
  • Commission and Testing – We will provide you with a detailed IRS Certificate for your records, showing a number of individual signals both at the head-end location and in certain flats.

There is not a minimum or maximum requirement for an IRS System, a standard multi switch can come with as little as 8 outputs.

The benefits of an IRS System are:

  • It gives all the occupants access to the free channels and satellite channels they may want.
  • Access to Sky TV if the occupants would like this.
  • Having one antenna will make the visual appearance of your property development more appealing.
  • IRS systems are very reliable and maintenance costs are low.
  • IRS systems can easily be integrated with other systems such as CCTV and broadband.
  • Having an IRS system will improve the marketability of your property development, because purchasers know that they can just move in and watch TV without having to get an aerial erected.

Yes, with growing technologies the amount of individual properties running for one IRS system is not limited.

A set of antennae is located onsite at a point of good reception, either on a building or a mast.

Modern fibre-optic systems mean that there is effectively no limitation on the distance from the mast/antennae to individual buildings. This means that a single antennae set can supply thousands of homes, plus any office and commercial buildings on the same site.

Yes, although most of the block is working correctly, there could be a number of different faults that can isolate a single part of the building.

We would usually advise arranging for a Diagnosis Visit to be preformed and access to those flats experiencing issues.
