Abstract
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for digitally detecting a first signal strength corresponding to a multi-channel spectrum of an incoming radio frequency (RF) spectrum and digitally detecting a second signal strength corresponding to a selected channel of the incoming RF spectrum. Based on these values, one or more one gain stages of a receiver, such as a satellite television receiver for the incoming RF spectrum, may be controlled. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
