  • Publication number: 20050170785
    Abstract: A wireless transmitting and/or receiving system and method of sharing analog information between a transmitter and a receiver connected to the transmitter by a wireless channel. The wireless transmitting and/or receiving system includes a transmitter that extracts analog signal and information from an analog broadcast signal, converts the analog signal into a transport stream that is then sent to a first wireless channel, transmits the analog information to a second wireless channel when the analog information is extracted, and updates previously stored first analog information with the received analog information, and a receiver that decodes the transport stream received from the transmitting means via the first wireless channel and updates previously stored second analog information with the analog information received by the second wireless channel.
