    including all FM radio stations to connection points in each residence.

    The extent of work includes, but is not limited to the following principal
    items.

     Supply and installation of amplifiers


     Supply of head-end equipment
     Supply and installation of all cables, outlets and fittings as
    required for the installation
     Performance of signal strength tests

    and digital
     Be suitable for UHF and VHF reception including pay TV digital
    decoders
     Be capable of distribution of up to 80 channels

    2:1 respectively
     Sized such that its maximum output in conjunction with the
    antenna output is not less than 8dB in excess of the
    distribution system losses
     Free from discernable cross modulation/intercarrier interface
    at the amplifier output
     All amplifiers must be capable of high channel loading
    capacity. Minimum of 77 channels required.

    04 Cabling
    The cable to be used throughout the network must be quad shielded

    -6-

    PAY TV companies will only activate services from the successful


    completion and subsequent approval of a contractors commissioning
    report. Within two working days of receiving a commissioning report
    PAY TV companies will either accept or reject the report and will notify
    the contractor of any reason for rejection. The commissioning process
    is a critical stage in the installation process.
    The following tests need to be performed at the headend to ensure
    compliance with the technical specifications of PAY TV.

    - Local oscillator (I.F.) signal levels measured at T10 and T20 on


    both ports. L.N.B.I.F. output levels should be stated in the As
    Built drawing, not the commission report.

    - Local oscillator (I.F.) Carrier to Noise ration at T10 and/or T20


    on both L.N.B. ports.
