Satellite broadcast receiving and distribution system

Abstract

The present invention provides a satellite broadcast receiving and distribution system that will permit for the transmission of vertical and horizontal or left-hand circular and right-hand circular polarization signals simultaneously via a single coaxial cable. The system of the present invention will accommodate two different polarity commands from two or more different sources at the same time. This satellite broadcast receiving and distribution system of the present invention will provide for the signals received from the satellite to be converted to standard frequencies so as to permit for signals to travel via existing wiring which the present day amplifiers can transport in buildings, high-rises, hospitals, and the like so that satellite broadcasting can be viewed by numerous individuals by way of a single satellite antenna.

1 . A satellite broadcasting system comprising: 
 a satellite dish coupled to a low-noise block converter; 
 said low-noise block converter is coupled to a first means of converting vertical polarization signals and horizontal polarization signals or left-hand circular polarization signals and right-hand circular polarization signals from a satellite and transmitting simultaneously via a single coaxial cable for enabling two different frequencies and polarities to be transmitted simultaneously via said single coaxial cable;  
   a second means is coupled to said first means; 
 said second means converts said vertical polarization signals and said horizontal polarization signals or said left-hand circular polarization signals and said right-hand circular polarization signals from said first means to its original received state from said satellite dish;  
   a satellite receiver is coupled to said second means; and 
 said source is coupled to said satellite receiver.  
   
   
   
       2 . A satellite system as in  claim 1  wherein a power source is could to said first means and said power source powers said first means.  
   
   
       3 . A satellite system as in  claim 1  wherein said second means provides for said signals to be converted separately and independently to said satellite receiver by a transmitting means.  
   
   
       4 . A satellite system as in  claim 1  wherein said second means provides for a transmitting means for said signals to be selectively converted to said satellite receiver via a first cable coupled to said second means.  
   
   
       5 . A satellite system as in  claim 4  wherein said transmitting means further includes a polarity switch for permitting said signals to be selectively converted to said satellite receiver.  
   
   
       6 . A satellite system as in  claim 1  wherein said first means includes a first converting system for converting said signals of a first direction to a desired first frequency and polarization and a second converting system for converting said signals of a second direction to a desired second frequency and polarization.
