Abstract
An integrated receiver with dual channel transport stream decoding and delivery substantially implemented on a single CMOS integrated circuit is described. For multiple channel transfers to hard disk drive storage, a multiplexed IDE host interface is provided with shared pins for data, address, and chip-select lines of the IDE interface so that multiple hard drives may be interfaced using the common pins of the integrated circuit.
