  • Patent number: 6727861
    Abstract: A mounting bracket includes a single mount for attaching to the soffit of a building for adjustably carrying a satellite dish antenna. The mount includes a base having holes for receiving screws to secure the mount to structural members such as studs or trusses to which the soffit is attached. A body portion of the mount includes a bore for receiving an arm of the mounting bracket. One end of the arm includes a plate adapted for attaching the arm to a satellite antenna dish assembly. Once the arm is positioned within the mount, setscrews lock the arm in its desired place within the bore, thus securing the satellite antenna to a desired location on the soffit.

  • Publication number: 20020178454
    Abstract: A system switches multiple broadcast signals from satellite and cable for transmission through a single coaxial cable to television receivers while managing use of the broadcast signals through telephony signal insertion and passage of a telephony signal and an RF signal on the single coax between a multiswitch and a triplexer operable with the receiver. A telephony interface operates with the multiswitch through a data access arrangement (DM) device for bringing outside telephone signals to the multiswitch. The triplexer includes a subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC) for providing telephony information to the receiver. The multiswitch and telephony interface route telephony information to the receiver.
