    just looking at the brochure for a house we are buying, its a new build:

    Each house has been cabled by XXX ltd to ensure
    that anything from a basic Saorview, Free to Air satellite
    system or Ultra High Definition system can be catered for.
    Each home has been cabled with a state of the art fibre
    optic signal distribution system, eliminating the need for
    unsightly aerials and satellite dishes.

    What exactly do they mean, if i want saorview or if i want sky how does this impact me exactly?

    I would read it that each house has a fibre cabled LAN ..... but that seems unlikely.

    Maybe it means that each house is connected to an external Fibre network.

    this seems to be the closest i can find

    basically seems to suggest centrally mounted aerials and dishes in the development, bit like the sky in an apartment thing?

    Yes that would be my thinking, communal aerial and dish distributed via fibre to each dwelling and converted back to co-ax distribution within the house. Who becomes responsible for the network once the homeowners move in, management company?

    There should be GTU (see your link) in the utility to convert optical to RF, the cabling from the various TV points will connect to standard outputs on the GTU

    Quad/Quattro GTUs - http://www.gionlineshop.co.uk/Downloads/Mark%20III%20GTU%20Quad%20and%20Quatro%20-03.pdf
