About this post

Post Description:

Struggling with patchy TV reception or Foxtel dropouts in your Sydney apartment

building? You’re not alone. Strata complexes face unique signal challenges that standard antenna services can’t fix. AntennaPros delivers specialised building-wide solutions for both free-to-air TV and Foxtel apartment systems—ensuring every resident enjoys flawless entertainment.

The Hidden Culprit: Why Apartments Struggle with TV & Foxtel Signals

Sydney’s high-density living creates perfect conditions for signal problems. Concrete structures, shared cabling, rooftop restrictions, and interference from neighbouring buildings all degrade reception. With Foxtel, the challenges multiply—improperly distributed satellite signals, outdated multiswitches, and overloaded systems cause frustrating dropouts, especially during peak viewing times.

The Fix: A dedicated strata antenna service that addresses both free-to-air and pay TV as one

integrated system. We design, install, and maintain MATV (Master Antenna Television) and SMATV (Satellite Master Antenna Television) systems that deliver consistent, high-quality signal to every unit.

Complete Strata & Foxtel System Services

1️⃣ Building-Wide MATV/SMATV Installation & Upgrades

For: New developments or older buildings needing modernisation.

We engineer centralised systems that distribute both digital free-to-air channels and Foxtel satellite signals through one efficient infrastructure. No more individual dishes cluttering rooftops or inconsistent service across units.

2️⃣ Foxtel Apartment System Specialists

Common Foxtel Issues We Fix:

"Pixelation during big sports games or prime time" – Usually caused by overloaded or failing multiswitches
"Some apartments get Foxtel, others don't" – Often due to incorrect cabling or signal imbalance
"Lost Foxtel channels after building work" – Typically damaged cabling or misaligned satellite distribution
"New residents can't get Foxtel connected" – Frequently inadequate system capacity or outdated equipment

Our Solution: We’re Foxtel infrastructure experts. We install compliant Foxtel-approved systems, upgrade aging multiswitches, balance signal distribution, and ensure your building’s system can handle current and future demand.

3️⃣ Dual-System Compliance & Coordination

We handle all strata permissions, Foxtel technical requirements, and NSW regulations simultaneously. One provider, one process, complete compliance for both free-to-air and satellite TV.

4️⃣ Proactive Signal Management

Instead of reactive repairs, we implement monitoring and maintenance plans that prevent problems before residents notice them. Regular signal testing, cable health checks, and equipment servicing keep everything running smoothly.

Your Building's Signal Health Check

Answer these questions to identify if your system needs attention:

1. Do residents complain about Foxtel pixelation during peak hours?

2. Has your building added units without upgrading TV infrastructure?

3. Are there "dead zones" where certain apartments get poor reception?

4. Is your current system over 10 years old?

5. Do you have visible individual satellite dishes on balconies?

If you answered YES to any question, your building likely needs a professional assessment.
