New switch in apartment block

Markjose

Hi

Someone has been in the loft of my appartment block i am only there for 6 months of the year and i live the other six months in london, however last time i came there was no TDT reception this his because the head amp needed upgrading to allow the DTV transmission, now someone has changed the whole system and has put up a new aerial and two small satellite dishes one for 19.2e and the other is for 30W. i have taken some photos and i want to know how the satellite one works. does it use the UHF cable already going down the line ? or would i have to take a new cable down? well i am happy they never got rid of my 1.2 meter for 28.2e

Not sure how it's distributed after the units you show, but I would guess through a series of taps or a bank of splitters.

The second picture shows the channelised terrestrial amplifiers which are fairly straightforward, but not sure of the satellite/IF system, have never used anything like that, it appears to be a SMATV system, distributing a few satellite channels as UHF channels. These would pass along normal infrastructure coax.

We have a few system installers here who will know more about it and I'm sure pass comment on what a crappy installation it is as well.

Yes T03 channel amplifiers for off-air TDT/analogue although the FM feed doesn't seem to be doing much. Above units for a small SMATV (IF to UHF).

Thanks for the reply guys i might tune a tv and see if there is any extra channels, but i doubt it and i would like someone who installs the system in spain to get on and tell me for sure what it is used for.
