Receivers

A receiver, if your roof is in the right place.

Not for sale, and not for everyone. We are building a small number of receivers to place where the sky is not being listened to.

Why selective

Coverage is a map with holes in it, and the holes are the only places a new receiver changes anything.

A receiver in central London adds almost nothing: that sky is already heard by hundreds of people. The same box on a hill in mid Wales, or on a coast, or beside an airfield nobody covers, fills in a piece of the map that is currently blank.

So we are not selling these. We are placing them, a few at a time, where they do some good, and we would rather say no than post a box that duplicates a neighbour.

If yours is one of those places, the receiver is yours to keep. It feeds the network, and it feeds your own display: a unit with its own aerial reads the sky in real time and keeps working when the broadband does not.

We would rather place ten receivers well than sell a hundred badly.

Why there is a form rather than a button

The arrangement

What it is, plainly.

What you get

A receiver and aerial, set up before it is posted. Your own sky, read off the air, with no third party between the aircraft and the display. The kit is yours.

What you give

The receiver feeds what it hears back to the network the rest of the product depends on. That is the entire arrangement, and it is the reason the kit costs you nothing.

What we need to know

Roughly where you are, and whether there is somewhere to put an aerial with a view of the sky. A loft, an upstairs window or a pole on a wall; height beats everything else.

What happens next

We check your area against our coverage map and write back either way. A no is not a rejection of you, it is an observation about your neighbours' aerials.

Tell us where you are.

An area is enough: a town, or the first half of a postcode. We do not want your address, and we do not need it to work out whether your sky is already covered.
