SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMBINED HOME NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS AND BROADCAST RECEPTION IN A SETTOP BOX

摘要

A method and apparatus (10) for demodulating different type of signals having at least a portion of overlapping frequency ranges is provided. The method and apparatus receives at least one a broadcast signal (206, 228) and a home networking signal (256), wherein the frequency range of the broadcast signal overlaps the frequency range of the home networking signal. The system (10) further determines if the received signal is a broadcast signal or a home networking signal and provides the respective signal to a demodulator (21, 22, 28) for demodulation.
