Track Down the Problem Fast
Here at MATV Systems, we repair and upgrade MATV systems across a range of commercial properties, including those using IPTV, hotel-managed TV systems, and Apple TV configurations. Our technicians work with legacy and modern equipment, and we stock a range of rare, hard-to-source components for rapid repairs. This includes RG7 (DSC 21 copper cable), .500, .750 and .412 hardline pin connectors, as well as RBS Green Trunk Cable connectors. These are all essential for keeping your system running smoothly without long wait times for parts.
- Professional FSM meters on every job
- Accurate diagnosis, minimal disruption guaranteed
Whether the fault lies at the headend, within the cabling or at a specific outlet, we'll carry out MATV system fault finding so you don't have to deal with the guesswork. Get in touch with us today on

Repairs That Actually Solve the Problem
Finding the fault is only half the job. What matters is that the repair addresses the root cause rather than masking the symptoms. A degraded amplifier that's replaced without checking upstream signal levels, or a damaged cable section that's patched rather than properly remediated, will lead to the same issue resurfacing weeks or months later. MATV Systems carries out repairs that are thorough, properly documented and tested end-to-end before we leave the site. We handle everything from amplifier and splitter replacements to full cable remediation and headend component repairs, and where urgent callouts are needed we respond as quickly as possible to minimise the impact on residents and building occupants.
- End-to-end testing completed before every job sign-off

When the job is done, your system should perform the way it was designed to. Get in touch with the team at MATV Systems to discuss your building's requirements.
What are the most common causes of MATV system faults in apartment buildings?
The most common causes include degraded or failing signal amplifiers, damaged or deteriorated coaxial cabling, faulty splitters or taps within the distribution network and antenna issues at the headend. Corrosion, water ingress and physical damage from building works are also frequent contributors to signal problems in multi-dwelling buildings.
How is an MATV system fault located in a large building?
A qualified technician uses professional FSM field strength meters to measure signal levels at multiple points throughout the distribution network, starting at the headend and working through the system progressively. This methodical approach identifies exactly where signal performance drops off, allowing the fault to be pinpointed without unnecessary disruption to residents.
Can an MATV fault affect only some units in a building rather than all of them?
Yes. The location of the fault within the distribution network determines which outlets are affected. A fault on a specific cable branch or tap will only impact the units connected to that part of the network, while a headend or amplifier fault is more likely to affect signal quality across the entire building.
