Had a company out to do some work.
Problem was that I have a communal sat dish which is shared with 3 houses, we'll call them house 1,2 & 3 just for the sake of it, house 2 being the middle house where the dish is mounted and the main cabling is firstly routed.
There is also a terrestrial tv antenna on the same pole as the sat dish and the cabling for that also firstly went in via house 2 first.
Ok, the problem was that every time the electricity went off in house 2 it mean that house 1 & 3 totally lost all connection/signal to the sat dish and the tv antenna and left the houses unable to watch tv at all.
However, as I said, we had work done were the sat dish/tv antenna company entered house 2's attic space and said they have now fixed it so that if house 2 has any electricity outage then house 1 & 3 wont lose any reception to thier satellite or tv antenna and all should be good.
well I checked the tv etc and everything appears to look ok.
What I would like to see though is if someone can explain to me what they done, and done it without the need of entering house 1 & 3's attic's at all, they only done the work from inside house 2's attic
The guys kindly left my wife a note as I wasnt at home at the time and the note says this >>>
"replaced mains powered switch in house 2 with TMPR 8 way, fitted power unit in house 2,
houses 1 & 3 both have sky boxes, no power unit required"
They also left us with a power supply unit that the wife says they didnt really say much about (or she wasnt listening, lol).
Whats the power supply unit for and can someone explain exactly what they have done to do all the work, try and make it in simple terms please as I wont understand either, lol.
Ive attached a couple of pictures of the TMPR power supply unit they left us just so that you know what I am talking about.IMAG0717.jpgIMAG0718.jpg
