Abstract
An apparatus for receiving satellite broadcasts comprises a frequency converter for outdoor use to which a receiving antenna is to be connected and a station selector for indoor use to which a television receiver is to be connected, the converter and the selector being connected to each other by a transmission line. The selector supplies the converter with a station-selection signal corresponding to a channel as chosen by the user, through the transmission line. Upon reception of the selection signal, the converter picks up the channel signal corresponding to the selection signal from a number of different broadcast microwave signals intercepted by the antenna, and sends the selected signal to the selector through the line. The signal is then received by the television receiver.
