What is a communal system?
One properly installed dish and distribution system feeding every unit in a complex or estate, instead of each unit fitting its own dish. Each unit still has its own subscription and decoder.
Why is that better than individual dishes?
A roofline covered in dishes looks bad, and each one is a separate point of failure and a separate hole in the roof. One well-mounted communal system is easier to maintain and usually gives better, more consistent signal to every unit.
Does it suit smaller complexes in Betty's Bay?
Yes. Even a handful of units around Betty's Bay benefit, particularly where the buildings are exposed and every extra roof penetration is a future leak.
Who is responsible for maintenance?
Normally the body corporate or HOA maintains the shared infrastructure, and the owner looks after their own decoder and subscription. We can quote for the shared portion separately.
Can it be installed on an existing building?
Yes. Retrofitting is common. We survey the cable routes first so we can tell you honestly what is involved before anyone commits.
How do we get a quote?
Call 079 754 5527 or send us the number of units and the building layout. We will arrange a site visit and quote in writing for the trustees.
