Abstract: Various configurations and equipment are described for providing satellite television programming from multiple satellite antennas to receivers, particularly to receivers located in apartments within a multiple-dwelling unit and having one or more satellite television receivers. In some arrangements a multitude of signals are provided to the users independent of what programming is actually being used. In an alternate configuration the system provides the user with signals that are selected from the available signals according to the programming selected by the user.

Abstract: A system is provided for distribution of broadcast and direct satellite television signals to multiple users, for example, within a multiple dwelling building. In one embodiment broadcast signals are combined with right and left-hand satellite signals and provided by a dual transmission line distribution system to user locations. In an alternate embodiment, satellite signals corresponding to one polarization are converted to a separate frequency band to provide a combined signal incorporating left and right- hand corresponding satellite signals and broadcast signals for distribution.
