Communal TV Aerials

As you know, as part of the major works all the satellite dishes were removed. Did you know that every flat should be connected to a communal TV aerial on the roof of the block that gives access to normal terrestrial television? We have learned that in some instances the cable to the roof has been cut (possibly by Virgin when installing their cables). If you want to use this service but don’t currently have it working then get in touch. Also tell us if you are really missing your satellite TV. Many people use cable these days, but we would like to know if losing your dishes has caused any real problems. Modern estates in Southwark have a communal satellite dish, as well as a communal terrestrial aerial. We think it might cost too much to have this put onto our estate, as one would be needed for each block and there are not very many flats in each block. But please tell us if you think this would be beneficial.
