Satellite Master Antenna Television (SMATV) is a cost-effective and reliable TV distribution system designed for communal and commercial properties across Ireland.

What is SMATV?

SMATV is a centralised satellite dish network that captures and decrypts a selected group of channels, then distributes them through a coaxial cable system. This allows multiple TVs across your property to access the same professional-grade channel line-up — without set-top boxes.
