Abstract
The invention relates to a receiving station for satellite television signals. The inventive system comprises an external unit, satellite receivers and television units for receiving both satellite signals and VHF/UHF signals under control of a common channel selection unit and a control module assigned to each television receiver. The control module is provided for generating control signals for the satellite receiver, so that satellite image signals can be received when selecting certain channels that would otherwise be available for VHF and UHF reception.
