I&J Telecommunications are able to assist you with nearly all types of Foxtel Installations. Whether you are looking to add a Foxtel satellite dish to your house to prepare for a Foxtel service, if you are pre-wiring your house to have Foxtel installed upon completion, or if you require a 40-storey building pre-wired for PayTV, I&J Telecommunications are available to help.
Foxtel services are transmitted over a combination of a cable network or via satellite. Given recent developments in the future use of the cable network for the NBN, all future Foxtel installations will use a satellite transmission. Satellite installations cannot be performed by any antenna installer. They require additional expertise in order to design the system and align the satellite dish, as well as a different type of spectrum analyser. In addition, there are significantly different parts that comprise satellite installations, including:
• Satellite Dishes: made in a variety of sizes, depending on the type of installation.
• Low-Noise Block Downconverters (LNBs): can be single, double or quad input.
• Headends: typically TDT, 5wire or Satellite Multistacker.
• Multiswitches: can be a range of different inputs and outputs, depending on the type of system and the number of outlets in the system.
• Launch Amplifiers
• Line Amplifiers
• Power Insertors
In addition, there are further specialised parts that can be installed to combine Foxtel with Free To Air TV channels, CCTV camera systems, in-house channels, and more.
Satellite TV allows you to receive satellite signals through your satellite dish. If you do not have a satellite dish installed then you will need to arrange for satellite dish installation. A set-top box or satellite-enabled television is also needed to decode the signals received. The services are transmitted from an earth station to a set of geostationary satellites. These signals are then returned to earth and allow you to enjoy your favourite TV shows!
Freesat is a free-to-air satellite TV service – allowing you to enjoy 100 entertainment channels and 20 HD channels without having to pay for a monthly subscription. Satellite TV itself is free however if you do not have a set-top box or satellite dish then you will need to pay for the initial installation. Some Smart TVs are satellite-enabled without the need for a set-top box. There are also subscription-based Satellite TV services available but the choice is yours!
