Starlink Internet Install

Starlink is an ultra fast internet service provided by Space X. It requires installing a special satellite receiver that uses orbiting satellites to provide the service. It’s extremely reliable and excellent option if you live in slow connection areas or in rural areas with poor internet coverage. How it works is you buy the package you require, most commonly the Residential package, A dish and router is sent to you and we fit this to your building and track the connecting control cable to the router in your home.

Complex IRS & Communal Aerial Systems

We provide full commercial support and installation for large commercial properties, ranging from multiple apartment blocks to Hotels or B&Bs.

Larger commercial properties will typically have a complex IRS consisting of a master array of aerial, satellite dish and radio antenna sent to a “Multi Switch”. This multi switch then distributes to all the rooms throughout the building with master outlet sockets and sub sockets providing all the reception needs to watch TV or connect a satellite receiver such as Sky.

Smaller properties such as B&Bs and HMOs may only require a communal aerial distribution. These systems often only require TV reception and a single feed to each room. This does still however require commercial level equipment and knowhow but is less expensive than an IRS system.

In both cases we can offer advice on a new complete installation and give a quote, fault find and repair (where possible) any issue with your current system or upgrade old components to new and fully Freeview HD able units.

We also can upgrade your existing system to accommodate Sky Q customers. Currently many IRS systems only support standard Sky HD recorder boxes. To receive Sky Q requires new equipment installing to the IRS system and then re-tested for signal integrity.
