IRS SYSTEMS
Typically an IRS system will provide all homes with:
Analogue TV (BBC1, BBC2, ITV, C4, C5)
Digital TV (Freeview)
Satellite (Sky, Sky+, Sky HD, Freesat)
Radio (FM, DAB)
With an IRS system residents receive the full range of free-to-air and pay TV channels direct to their TV outlet - the only difference is they don't need dishes and aerials. They must however have a TV license and they will need a Sky subscription to view Sky services.
The communal antennae are of a similar size to ordinary domestic aerials and dishes and are receiving only. They are unobtrusively located, either out of sight on the top of a suitable building, or in a suitable landscaped position on the development perimeter.
An IRS system provides many benefits for your development:
• Improves the marketing proposition by making homes 'plug and play' - purchasers can move in and watch TV without the hassle and expense of an aerial installation.
• It supplies the full range of off-air and Sky satellite TV services, maximising customer choice.
• Residents take out their own subscriptions for pay TV - the developer is not involved.
• Enhances urban design by eliminating the visual clutter of TV and radio aerials and satellite TV dishes. These systems can aid bids and planning applications.
• Guarantees good off-air reception even on sites with poor signal levels and high densities.
• Can be combined cost-effectively with services such as CCTV, community TV, community broadband, etc, and future-proofs the development.
An IRS system helps differentiate your development and add to your sales proposition.
