Basic scheme of antenna installation in a one-family house, capable of receiving terrestrial and satellite channels. The system enables the residents to receive any available terrestrial TV and FM channel, and one chosen (at a moment) satellite TV program - through every SAT/TV outlet in the home. The satellite program can be changed from any place in the home where a remote control extender has been installed. The FM/TV antennas, diplexer and satellite dish with LNBs are mounted on the roof; the 2-way splitter, RF amplifier, SAT switch and TV/SAT combiner - in the attic. The satellite receiver can be installed e.g. in the living room. Thanks to the RF modulator cooperating with the receiver, the chosen SAT channel is available in other rooms. An additional coaxial cable from the place with the SAT receiver to the attic will provide possibility of extension in the future (second receiver, PVR, CCTV etc).

In the case of HD SAT receiver, HD programs can be watched only on an HD television directly connected to the receiver, the rest of TVs in the home can display SD video distributed by the RF modulator.

The installation can be done in stages:

A further development of this installation is Reception of digital satellite platform throughout the house using only one smart card, which allows selection of different sat channels in different rooms. .

The terrestrial antennas should be chosen according to local reception conditions.
Selection of Terrestrial TV Antennas

On each TV one can watch any of the terrestrial programs and any chosen at a moment satellite program,
but the satellite program is the same in all rooms.
