TUNING SYSTEM FOR ACHIEVING RAPID SIGNAL ACQUISITION FOR A DIGITAL SATELLITE RECEIVER

摘要

A method and apparatus for compensating for frequency drift in an LNB (104A-104C) by storing the frequency offset of each LNB (104A-104C) with respect to each channel. When a channel is selected, a particular LNB (104A-104C) is activated and the table of offset values is consulted. The offset value for the LNB and channel is used to tune the LNB (104A-104C) to a frequency that is appropriate for receiving the selected channel.
