COMMUNITY – SHARING TV SYSTEMS

NEIGHBOURS SHARING & COMMUNITY SYSTEMS

We offer a full range of services, from installation, to maintenance and reparation of existing systems. Cloud & online support services for TV & telecommunications equipment.


For many people who wish to receive Satellite television, sharing with your neighbours will reduce the cost for each householder. 

Depending on how the properties or urbanisation has been set out it can be possible to connect direct neighbours, or houses further apart - potential to connect the entire road or community area.

Communities in apartments can easily share a single or multiple dishes on the roof for a single or international language based satellite system.

Satellite dishes can be shared from 2 neighbours sharing to hundreds of people in a larger community.

FREE FROM ONGOING MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENTS

You can receive over 250 satellite Free to air English language channels. You will get the same original quality of picture & sound as you would in the UK – HD, 4K & Dolby Digital surround sound..


Example- Sharing a satellite dish for 3-8 neighbours. 

With this type of system it is possible to expand to add further connections in later.

1.9 metre high gain satellite dish - other dish sizes available. 

Total cost for neighbours sharing a dish using dish size above, would be approx €300 per household & includes satellite receiver. This would give a community sized dish, with no ongoing subscription costs. For nearby neighbours sharing a connection, a smaller dish of 1.4 metres can be used reducing costs further.

If in a community or apartment block, you can connect as many properties as you require to a dish – 8, 16, 32 or more.

We offer a no obligation site survey for neighbours sharing & community installations.

This option offers the most variety in terms of programming content & channels. Multilingual community systems are available using multiple dishes. A community satellite or IPTV system is a shared television service between either a community or a number of private residents within that community.

Television Technology installs, maintain & repair existing systems of all sizes. Cable or fibre optic.

For an accurate assessment, we offer a no obligation site survey.

Even if only a few individuals in your community initially require UK TV, making it difficult to reach an agreement for an entire community – It is now possible to put a cost-effective satellite system in place, which would allow the facility for other community members to add on to the service at a later stage.

The most cost-effective long-term solution – Rental schemes can cost over €300 per year per household (monthly subscriptions), to maintain a community satellite system based on a 5 year period, averages less than €25 per year per household.

IPTV community systems – Equipment is now available for these type of services, to allow flexible content and multi language content. These systems are only viable where a stable and fast internet connection is available. Please contact us by email for further information on community IPTV systems.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS SATELLITE RECEPTION – IS IT LEGAL?

  • SATELLITE RECEPTION – IS IT LEGAL?

    Yes – The main equipment is owned by the community and each individual is defined as an end user who retains ownership of their own receiver. This is not a rebroadcast system and you are not receiving a retransmitted or rebroadcasted signal. Directly from satellite, original service.


    Right – Res Albatros in Murcia, 2.4-metre dish with custom fabricated bracket – mounted in a car park, though out of harm’s way.

  • How many channels would I receive?

    You will receive over 200 channels, see more here. And will also have the further options of receiving subscription channels. New free to air channels are being added each month.

  • What is required for planning permission?

    Planning permission from local town hall is not required & is defined as a right under EU law.

  • CAN I BE SWITCHED OFF?

    Long term stability? No as each individual is an end user receiving a direct non rebroadcasted satellite signal. This defined under EU directive IP/01/913 – 2 July 2001 requiring no planning permission. The equipment once in place is under the ownership of the community. As you are receiving the signal direct from the satellite, you are not beholden to a rebroadcast or third party service provider. This ensures long-term stability as you cannot be switched off as the service you are receiving is fully legal.
