1. A method of forming an output signal comprising:

  • providing a plurality of primary receiver circuit modules at a local collection facility, said plurality of primary receiver circuit modules comprising a first receiver circuit module;

    receiving a plurality of channel signals, said plurality of channel signals having a first channel signal;

    communicating the first channel signal to the first receiver circuit module;

    forming an IP signal corresponding to the first channel signal at the first receiver circuit module;

    communicating the IP signal from the local collection facility through an IP network backhaul to a remote collection facility;

    decoding the IP signal to form a first decoded signal;

    encoding the first decoded signal at a first encoder module into a first encoded signal;

    multiplexing the first encoded signal into a multiplexed signal; and

    generating the output signal at the remote facility in response to the multiplexed signal.
