Abstract
In accordance with various aspects of the disclosure, a method and apparatus for receiving multiple channels from a broadcast source and interfacing to multiple demodulators within a common silicon implementation is disclosed. A receiver apparatus is disclosed that may aggregate multiple channels output by multiple tuners into at least one composite signal. The at least one composite signal may be passed to a single ADC. The channels may then be extracted from the at least one composite signal in the digital domain prior to demodulation in separate demodulators.
