Abstract
Methods and systems for providing satellite television service to a premises may comprise receiving satellite television signals utilizing a satellite dish, converting received satellite signals to internet protocol (IP) signals, and wirelessly communicating the IP signals into a premises to which the satellite dish corresponds. The IP signals may, for example, conform to a multimedia over cable alliance (MoCA) standard or a IEEE 802.11x standard. The wirelessly communicating may comprise magnetic coupling. The received satellite signals may, for example, be converted to IP signals utilizing an IP low-noise block downconverter (IP-LNB) which may comprise full-band capture receivers. The wireless communication of the IP signals may, for example, be within a wireless network of the dwelling or may be independent of a wireless network of the dwelling. The wirelessly communicated IP signals may be beam-formed and may be communicated wirelessly over one or more industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) bands.
