LandlordsDomestic tenants’ requirements vary markedly from those in business. Once the requirements have been discussed with the satellite company the next step is to carry out the dish testing to ascertain if these requirements can be met. The range of terrestrial and satellite signals to be captured should be matched against the projected or existing demands.
A complete VDF system may comprise the following
- Main satellite, terrestrial TV and radio receiving equipment to be located on the roof of the building. Equipment is to be capable of receiving all specified channels.
- Distribution equipment in order to distribute the signals Site Wide.
What will the VDF system offer the landlord?
- Landlords retain control over the roof space.
- Affords the landlord a potential revenue generating service.
- A managed service. Valuable in winning new clients.
- The system is future proof. Landlords no longer need to decide what bouquet of channels to support.
- A clear demarcation point for the landlord. Easily maintained and controlled by means of a centrally controlled head-end connection mechanism.
What will the VDF system offer the tenants?
Connection to the VDF system will afford the tenant access to the television and radio signals as well as the raw satellite feeds. In the case of the terrestrial TV and radio signals the tenant would connect directly from the outlet connection box to their TV set or radio set. In the case of satellite television it
will rest on the tenant to acquire the BSkyB decoder directly thus removing this element of the management process from the landlord. This is standard procedure whether the client is a residential or business subscriber. The individual or business needs to be contractually bound to BSkyB on their own accord giving them the freedom to choose their own channels.
