  • Publication number: 20160268673
    Abstract: Generally discussed herein are antennas and antenna mounts. For example, an antenna mount configured to mount to a flat panel television may include: a post that receives a connector (such as a screw) to mount the post in a mounting hole located in a back panel of the television, a brace that attaches to a connection feature of the post, and a platform that provides a surface on which to receive an antenna. The brace may provide a length sufficient to allow the platform to be positioned above a top edge of the television as the antenna mount is mounted to the television. In further examples, the shapes, sizes, placements, and orientations of the connections between the antenna mount and the television conform to Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) specifications, such as for mounting to designated VESA mounting holes on the hack panel of the television.

  • Patent number: 7954134
    Abstract: A set-back box (SBB) includes a digital TV signal receiver. The SBB can be connected via a HDMI cable to a TV having only an analog TV signal receiver so that digital TV signals from the SBB can be displayed on the TV screen. The TV processor recognizes the SBB and in effect treats the digital receiver of the SBB as its own, such that a single remote control can be used to control both analog channel selection within the TV and digital channel selection within the SBB.
