Integrated Reception System or IRS

An IRS (integrated reception system) is a communal aerials/dish system which integrates satellite with digital terrestrial television signals and distributes these signals throughout a property such as a block of flats, terrace of houses or larger domestic system.

Combining digital TV aerial signals with satellite transmissions, it is also possible to include DAB, FM radio and European satellites. An IRS system will offer the greatest choice and flexibility enabling residents to choose the method in which they receive their digital reception from a single outlet socket.

Installing an IRS system to your property will benefit you and the residents alike. Residents would no longer need their own dish and no one likes to see a property covered in dishes. Properties with IRS systems installed will also attract higher rental income.

Design

We will design each IRS system individually but most IRS systems tend to have a similar theme. The signals are combined at a central location and then distributed to each location where a multi socket outlet is installed leaving the dwelling free to choose the preferred method of reception.

An Integrated Reception System would provide Digital TV (Freeview), for those that want it. Satellite signals, normally but not limited to Sky and Freesat. Other satellites can be added if required. DAB radio signals and FM radio signals. The choice is left to the resident.

The accepted industry standard for an IRS is a two-cable system from the central location to each dwelling. This system would allow residents the freedom to use a Sky + or Freesat HDR receiver both of which require a twin satellite feed to have full functionality.
