It plugs into your mains supply and has another lead which you plug into one of the 4 outlets in the new socket which leads to the multi ariel.
This is it-
Triax TMPR Power Supply Unit
PS -so I misled you - not a booster - a power supply for the ariel |
The aerial does not need power but it sounds like it may have a mast head amplifier that will need the power from the power supply you mention or the power could feed a distribution amplifier in the roof space that then feeds to each flat.
It is crazy that one person can switch of the aerial feed to everyone's flat. The sensible thing to do would be if the person who supply's the power for the amplifier did not pay the 70p per week rent for the aerial.
Out of interest you must have lights inside the stair area of the flats - who supplies the electricity for those lights? It could be you.
