Lose the Dishes. Add the Revenue.

Still wondering how a shared satellite dish solution might benefit you?  Here are the top 10 reasons why you may want to consider a solution from Blue Top Communications.

1.  All Apartments Have Access

A shared satellite system will allow all apartment units access to satellite TV programming packages without the need for southwest exposure.  In addition, each unit may also have access to other services we provide, such as Internet.

2.  Minimize Balcony Dishes

A shared satellite system can ultimately minimize independent satellite dish installations throughout your community. Most importantly, residents like being able to receive hundreds of channels without the need for a satellite dish.

3.  Revenue Sharing & Door Money Payments

Shared-dish providers are typically very flexible on revenue sharing programs.  Like most everything else, shared-dish providers will usually base revenue sharing percentages on the size of the property and up front capital required to deploy the service. In some cases, we are able to offer up front door money payments in lieu of revenue sharing payments.

4.  Program Flexibility

Many larger shared-dish providers are able to purchase satellite TV programming on a wholesale basis.  These providers will typically evaluate a property or portfolio and base monthly charges and service fees accordingly.  For example, if you had a property that was 300 units or larger, you can expect to see prices at or below those charged by the local cable company for comparable (or even better) TV packages.

5.  No Franchise Fees

Because shared-dish providers serve private communities on private property, they are not required to maintain a franchise agreement with the city or town in which the property resides.  Therefore, customers served by the shared-dish provider won't be charged franchise fees.

6.  More TV Choices

Satellite TV customers are provided with access to more channel choices, including: - Expanded basic packages offering hundreds of expanded basic channels.

- High Definition programming.

- International programming.

- Premium movies, Pay-per-view and Video-On-Demand services.

- Sports, sports and more sports!

7.  Customized Solutions

Many shared-dish providers offer owners the ability to "cherry pick" basic TV channels that best fit the needs of the property.  Basic TV packages include a property channel (complete with property logo) and customized on-screen TV guide.

8.  Personal Attention

Shared-dish providers often pride themselves on their ability to structure marketing and operations resources around the needs of each individual property they serve.  Customer service representatives and service technicians are more "in tune" to the specific services and needs of each property, usually resulting in high levels of customer satisfaction.

9.  Bulk Cable Options

Properties that wish to offer a basic cable TV service as an amenity to the property can benefit from deeply discounted bulk cable TV packages. Whether you wish to offer 15 channels or 250 channels...its completely customizable.

10. Control

Why let the utility and communications companies control the services offered to your resident? Why allow these same companies to profit from your base of customers? With a shared-dish system, you control who is on your property and you enjoy a revenue stream while doing so.
