Wireless satellite radio distribution network
First Claim
1. A component of a wireless satellite radio distribution network, comprising:
- an integrated receiver/wireless router including a receiving means that receives a plurality of compressed bit streams of satellite programming from a satellite signal; and
a distribution means for distributing one or more selected compressed bit stream(s) of satellite programming from the plurality of compressed bit streams of satellite programming of the satellite signal over one or more routed network wireless paths to wirelessly distribute the selected one or more compressed bit stream(s) of satellite programming within a localized area.

Abstract
A wireless satellite radio distribution network is disclosed. The wireless distribution network includes an integrated receiver/wireless router and at least one networked device. The integrated receiver/wireless router includes a receiving means that receives a plurality of compressed bit streams of satellite programming from a satellite signal. The integrated receiver/wireless router includes a distribution means for distributing one or more selected compressed bit streams of satellite programming from the plurality of compressed bit streams of satellite programming of the satellite signal over one or more routed network wireless paths to wirelessly distribute the selected one or more compressed bit stream(s) of satellite programming within a localized area. The at least one networked device is positioned in the localized area and includes a communication means for communicating over the one or more routed network wireless path. The at least one networked device is adapted to select and receive the distributed compressed bit stream of satellite programming from the plurality of compressed bit streams of a satellite signal within the localized area. A method is also disclosed.
