To do this, the resident must purchase the following items from a TV retailer: - Co-axial cable - UHF Splitter - Barrel Connector Media connection diagrams from the system installer are included in the manual appendix. Viewing Sky channels Only one decoder box can be installed in each apartment and only the channel being watched via the main socket can be viewed in a separate room.

Service providers New Sky subscribers Since there is a communal distribution system already provided in the building, Sky will pass you directly to a specialist installer who will make an appointment to visit the apartment, arrange a subscription contract with Sky and install the appropriate equipment. Sky will then bill the subscriber directly and the installer will be responsible for any technical problems with the installation under a 12-month warranty. Existing Sky subscribers Connect the “digibox” / decoder in accordance with Sky system instructions to the main satellite outlet sockets and advise Sky of the change of address. 08702 400 024 www.sky.com Notes Television licences Residents are responsible for paying their own television licence fee and making sure that they are in possession of an up to date licence.
