Sky has launched a new way of upgrading existing communal TV systems in blocks of flats.
It is due to announce its new Single Cable Solution (SCS) today at the Association of Residential Managing Agents conference.
The solution delivers the two signals required for full Sky+ functionality down an existing single cable system. This allows residents to watch Sky in multiple rooms and provides the capability to pause and rewind, and record two or more shows at one time.
The upgrade is described as very simple and quick, with no drilling, stripping or re-cabling required.
Brendan Hegarty, head of Sky Communal TV, said: “With TV technology advancing so rapidly, many landlords and managing agents who previously installed a communal TV system in their block are facing frustration from tenants because they can’t access the latest TV functions and services. SCS is a brilliantly simple solution to this problem.”
SCS is particularly suitable for situations where cabling is not allowed or internal cabling is inaccessible.

Comments
Our Single Cable Solution (SCS) has gone through rigorous testing and pilot schemes, but is a brand new enhancement of older Sky systems for those customers that don’t have the dual feed capability allowing for the complete Sky experience. So, it is a great way of ensuring that blocks of flats with single-feed systems can enjoy full Sky functionality. For further information, please call our team on 08442 411679, and we'd be happy to discuss your requirements and sky’s contribution towards costs.
Nothing new here, it's been available for a couple of years. Will Sky be funding the upgrades??
