Abstract: An integrated receiver-decoder device for in-home use demodulates and decodes QPSK modulated MPEG-DVB formatted signals received via satellite transmission. The receiver-decoder is capable of simultaneously providing both IP data output and analog audio output for direct connection to a user's home entertainment equipment and/or PC. The receiver-decoder housing includes a front panel user-interface and is designed for connection to an external satellite receiver dish. An on-line upgradable software operating system controls all receiver-decoder operations including demodulating, DVB signal decoding, selecting and configuring audio and IP data channels for output.
