Free-to-View and Subscription Channels

A MATV (Master Antenna TV) system connects multiple viewing points via a single coaxial cable to a central distribution point where a number of channels (Freeview for example) would be distributed to each viewing point.

Today’s MATV networks are able to carry free-to- view and subscription channels both digital and analogue although they are unable to carry satellite signals.

This type of installation is typically suited to Hotels, Hospitals, Prisons, or Communal Blocks where you want to avoid lots of aerials on the fabric of the building.

The flexibility of the system also allows you to integrate an in house information channel that you could personalise and update centrally and be received in all the viewing locations.

Our TV Reception Surveys will confirm that a signal is present and working for the reception before any work begins.

All systems by SCS are installed in accordance with Confederation of Aerial Industries (CAI) standards, SCS being one of a select few companies to be an Approved Systems Installer gained by our engineers undergoing the CAI SMATV and IRS training course.
