Abstract

A first antenna (16) at a user location (14) receives signals at a first frequency where the signals are travelling only within a first directional reception range as measured from a centerline (28) of the first antenna (16). The first antenna (16) has its centerline (28) aligned to receive direct broadcast satellite signals transmitted from a satellite in geosynchronous orbit about the earth. A second antenna (18) at the user location (14) receives signals at the first frequency where the signals are travelling only within a second directional reception range as measured from a centerline (30) of the second antenna (18). The second antenna (18) is aligned to receive signals transmitted at the first frequency from a terrestrial transmitting location remote from the user location.
