MATV system installation for communal properties nationwide. MATV distribution uses a single aerial to supply signals to multiple TV systems.

MATV (Master Antenna Television) is suitable for communal properties nationwide. MATV uses a single aerial to supply signals to multiple tv’s.

Master Antenna Television or M.A.T.V systems differ from IRS by only offering Freeview and DAB radio. Many MATV systems in use today are more than 35-years old and may not be suitable for carrying digital television signals.

In a typical modern MATV system the aerial is a conventional UHF TV aerial, receiving both analogue and digital TV signals. These signals are then processed and a distribution network delivers all television signals to a socket in each household. There can be more than one outlet per household but only one TV set can be connected.

MATV system can carry analogue and digital television free to view and subscription services through an aerial, FM radio and DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) but it cannot carry satellite services. Generally MATV systems over 30-years old are unsuitable for carrying digital television signals and they will need to be replaced. This is because cables degrade over time and are unsuitable to carry digital signals adequately when they are broadcast at full power after switchover.
