As you may know, Sky+ requires two feeds and the majority of flats have only one. Sky HD also is best with two feeds.
However it is generally possible for two feeds to be provided along one cable by means of a 'stacker'. All this requires is that there has to be a spare socket in the header cupboard in the ground floor of each staircase. Where we have investigated, we have found there to be four spare sockets, which means that 40% of the flats ought to be able to receive Sky+. At present we estimate that not more than ten percent would subscribe to it if they knew it was available, so this would seem to be adequate.
A stacker will cost any owner in the region of £150 and can be fitted by Alan Kaye (07810480126) who is a freelance engineer familiar with our system. If you should find that there is no spare socket available, it could be necessary to pay also for a feed to be taken from the main splitter.
A full report will be brought to the AGM on 27th November.
