Abstract:
Low-noise block downconverter (LNB) of a satellite dish receives a request from a satellite broadcast signal receiver to transmit a signal for a channel to the receiver. If the channel requested by the receiver is different from a channel requested by another satellite broadcast signal receiver, the LNB in response provides a signal for the channel requested by the receiver at a frequency that is allocated to the receiver. If the channel requested by the receiver is the same as a channel requested by another satellite broadcast signal receiver, the LNB provides an instruction to the requesting receiver for the receiver to retune to the frequency used for the other satellite broadcast signal receiver. The requesting receiver can then receive the signal for said channel which is being provided by the LNB at the frequency used for the other satellite broadcast signal receiver.
