Communal Sky dishes

    Hi guys,

    Just about to move into a new apartment where the only current option for tv (and broadband and phone) is via Smart. So some of the current residents have started trying to get a communal Sky dish installed in our block.

    Has anyone here any experience or knowledge about this being successfully done?

    Greg

    From recent contact via email with a satellite installer, getting a communal dish set up in a completed development is extremely costly, not to mention difficult. Wiring would have to be run for each apartment, etc. I'd go so far as to say most installers wouldn't touch them with a barge pole... :)

    You'd also need the approval of the Management Company who would start the ball rolling.

    Like a lot of other things this is far cheaper and easier to do when a place is being built rather than afterwards.

    There is actually a strong case for it to be a planning requiremet that a communal multisat and terrestrial TV/FM aerial system be installed in all new developments during building
