whats the best way to go about this? I was thinking of 13 seperate aerials feeding the 2 av outlets in each flat?

are there any super dooper single aerials that will serve these 26 outlets? Maybe with a booster of some sort, which would have to go on the communal socket circuit.

 
hi

couple of years ago i done a bit of sub contracting for plymouth council. i was installing all the digital cabling and aerials for the flats. i dont know the make or where to purchase, but yeah you can defo get one aerial to do the lot. i was doing blocks of flats with 40+ dwellings all coming off one aerial. it happens as you say. all outlets come off one booster type box which is fed from one main aerial. the company i sub contracted off was avonline, their might be something on there. also check out irs systems (integrated reception system) if you want the flats to use one dish and one aerial.

hope this helps

cheers mark

who will guard the guards???

 
There used to be companies specialising in this sort of television distribution, I assume there are still some about. Certainly the very large housing complexes do not have 40+ aerials bolted on the sides. Do you need to consider wiring for cable or satellite distribution as well?
