Abstract
A method and apparatus for receiving signals transmitted from a plurality of communications satellites. An apparatus in accordance with the present invention comprises a reflecting surface having a focal point, and a plurality of low noise block down converters with feedhorns (LNBFs), each LNBF having a boresight, wherein at least a first LNBF receives signals in a first frequency band transmitted from a first communication satellite location that are focused at a first focal point and at least a second LNBF receives signals in a second frequency band transmitted from a second satellite location that are focused at a second focal point, wherein the boresight of the first LNBF is closer to the first focal point than the boresight of the second LNBF is to the second focal point.
