WHAT IS AN INTEGRATED RECEPTION SYSTEM?

The underlying philosophy can best be described as 'everything to everyone'. With the full range of services delivered to their home, residents are free to choose which ever services best meet their requirements. An IRS can be installed in any building from the smallest to the largest, both existing and new build and even across a housing estate.

What is an Integrated Reception System?
An Integrated Reception System (IRS)is a communal aerial and satellite system designed to carry digital signals and capable of providing residents with broadcast services from terrestrial and satellite sources .Terrestrial broadcasts occupy frequency ranges that cover just over 400 Megahertz of bandwidth. Most communal aerial systems have been designed to receive and distribute signals within that bandwidth. By comparison, satellite signals occupy more than 4,000 Megahertz of bandwidth.
Communal aerial systems designed to older specifications are not able to distribute signals a cross that much wider bandwidth. Only an IRS has sufficient bandwidth to receive and distribute the full range of services .A look at communal aerial design will help to illustrate why changes are required for the digital age. Why is an IRS required? Only an IRS is able to deliver the choice that consumers demand.

4 types of IRS

• 5wire Sky
• 5wire Sky+ - Astra satellite dish with either 1 (Standard Sky) or 2 (Sky+)cables to each flat
• 9wire
• 9wire Sky+ - Astra and Hotbird satellite dishes with either Standard Sky orSky+, Hotbird offering wide variety of foreign channels.

Option of receiving

• Analogue & Digital Aerial Television
• Sky Satellite
• Sky+ Satellite
• FM/VHF Radio Aerial
• Digital Radio(D.A.B.) Aerial

Capabilities

• Digital TV aerial reception feeding multiple flats or dwellings from one aerial.
• IRS networks allowing terrestrial aerial and satellite reception in multiple flats or dwellings from one dish and aerial.

Benefits

• One aerial and dish per building reducing aesthetic and physical damage to buildings caused by multiple aerial and dish installations and cable runs.
• Reduces risk of disputes from tenants over aerial and dish locations.
• No problems with local authorities over planning consent issues caused by multiple installations.
