Proper and good quality TV signal cannot be
delivered to the customer without properly
designed and executed RF cabling at customer
premises.
The rule is therefore to install RF cabling and
equipment first time right so that quality to
the customer can be ensured,
complaints are minimized and repeated visits
to the customer by field teams could be
eliminated.
