Abstract

This method for receiving a data stream transmitted over several radiofrequency channels each with a different frequency, comprises scanning the bandwidth to identify available radiofrequency channels, determining a quality indicator for each available radiofrequency channel and selecting a channel for receiving the data stream depending upon said quality indicators. The method further comprises determining a refreshing period for the quality indicator of each available channel and weighting every determined refreshing period depending on the value of the quality indicator of the currently received channel.
