    We have two building in our strata plan, a larger one with 8 apartments and a smaller with 4.  The buildings have separate TV distribution systems.  Two or 3 of the owners in the larger building wanted to get Foxtel.  Rather than a satellite solution with separate cables somehow running to each apartment, we decided to integrate it into our (modern) TV distribution system.   It was expensive to do this but it meant that there would be no ugly cables and only 1 dish on the roof.  And also Foxtel would go to every TV outlet in all the apartments.   I didn't want Foxtel but voted for it.  None of the owners in the smaller building wanted it at all.  Eventually we decided to install Foxtel in the larger building only and strike a special levy to pay for it from just the 8 owners who would get the service.   Since then a few residents in the smaller building have asked for Foxtel – which they can have if they pay for a similar installation.
