Abstract

Methods and apparatus for remote antenna subsystems that are physically isolated from receiver subsystems are disclosed. The communication between the two subsystems uses remote communication links. The remote communication links are either wireless, in which case they are designed for indoor low power communications, or are wired, using existing infrastructure in the household such as the power lines. Partitioning between the antenna and receiver subsystems is selectable.
