The Digital Switchover is a potentially difficult problem for Landlords and Property Managers.
Please feel free to call on 0191 3884191 and we will be pleased to help guide you through the transition process. An Integrated Reception System (IRS) receives and then distributes the available signals from Terrestrial Analogue & Digital Television and Satellite broadcasts, as well as FM Radio and the new Digital Audio Broadcasts (DAB). All of these signals are then distributed to each dwelling. Installing IRS means that residents are free to decide to either connect their existing TV equipment to the system to pick up the existing free-to-air analogue signals, (until they are switched off), or to take up digital satellite or digital terrestrial television, now or in the future.
Consumers are increasingly demanding the benefits of digital television with its increased choice and new services. In addition, the government has confirmed that the existing analogue television transmitters will be turned off, with a target date of 2012 in the North East. Thereafter television will only be available through a digital platform. If your networks are not digitally compatible by the time the analogue services are switched off your residents will not be able to receive any TV programmes.
This solution means that the landlord installing IRS does not have to favour any one particular supplier of TV programming. The choice is left to the resident.
By making your properties 'digital ready' you can satisfy existing residents' demands, as well as making your properties more attractive to potential occupiers. The installation of an IRS system requires just one master dish and antenna per block and therefore enables effective enforcement of a dish and aerial ban. Although IRS installations are primarily associated with Sky TV, there is no need to favour any one TV service or technology provider.
