TO RECEIVE PROGRAMMES


Television distribution systems normally provide each apartment with analogue terrestrial television BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, digital terrestrial multiplexes 1-6 and usually FM BBC Radio

In order to receive the programmes, it is necessary to connect the television aerial input socket to the aerial outlet plate TV connection with a special lead called a fly lead.  Once the aerial has been connected to the television, then the television needs to be tuned to the programmes by following the television instruction book.

TUNING IN

The signals from the system may be on different channels to normal and so it is best to tune the television in when first connecting to a system.

This may be in the same way that one would normally tune a television in for the first time.  

Most modern televisions have automatic search facilities which may be used. Sometimes, the channels on the system are different to those from the transmitter. Sometimes the transmitter channels are picked up weakly on the system. Sometimes the auto tune on a television will tune to the weak picked up signals and not the proper ones.  If you think this may have occurred, then it is best to manually tune.  The list of channels above covers some of the current Blakeglow systems .

FLY LEAD

The fly lead should be made from a double screened coaxial cable, should be kept as short as possible and should be one continuous length.   Coaxial cables are fragile and can be easily crushed or damaged by bending.

When damaged, much of the signal can be lost in the cable, affecting the quality, with analogue reception causing snowy pictures and with digital causing blocking. The fly lead should have an industry standard, IEC, coaxial connection at each end.

AERIAL OUTLET PLATE

The aerial outlet plate on an MATV system usually has two sockets, one for radio and one for television.  For television, the socket marked TV should be used.

SATELLITE OUTLET PLATE The satellite outlet plate on an SMATV system usually has three sockets, one for radio, one for satellite and one for television.  For television, the socket marked TV should be used and for satellite plug the f connector lead into the socket marked SAT and connect the other end to the satellite receiver.  Some times a four output socket is installed which would allow for Sky plus.
