1. A client module comprising:
- a first transceiver module for receiving a first radio frequency (RF) signal from a multimedia server module over a first transceiver channel and for converting the first RF signal into a first baseband signal when the first transceiver module is in a transceiver mode, the first transceiver module including a first scan module for performing a channel scan of unused channels to determine an alternative first transceiver channel with acceptable interference characteristics, when the first transceiver module is in a scan mode;
a second transceiver module for receiving a second RF signal from a multimedia server module over a second transceiver channel and for converting the second RF signal into a second baseband signal when the second transceiver module is in a transceiver mode; and
a combination module, operably coupled to the first transceiver module and the second transceiver module, for combining the first baseband signal and the second baseband signal into an output signal when the first transceiver and the second transceiver are both in the transceive mode and for generating the output signal from the second baseband signal when the first transceiver is in the scan mode.

Abstract
An encoded signal is modulated to produce a first radio frequency (RF) signal that is transmitted to a client module over a first transceiver channel when a first transceiver module is in a transceive mode. A channel scan is performed when the first transceiver module is in a scan mode. The encoded signal is modulated to produce a second RF signal and that is transmitted over a second transceiver channel when a second transceiver module is in a transceive mode.

16. A method comprising:
-
receiving a first radio frequency (RF) signal from a multimedia server module over a first transceiver channel and converting the first RF signal into a first baseband signal when a first transceiver module is in a transceive mode; performing a channel scan when the first transceiver module is in a scan mode of unused channels to determine an alternative first transceiver channel with acceptable interference characteristics for the first transceiver module to automatically switch to; receiving a second RF signal from a multimedia server module over a second transceiver channel and converting the second RF signal into a second baseband signal when a second transceiver is in a transceive mode; combining the first baseband signal and the second baseband signal into an output signal when the first transceiver and the second transceiver are both in the transceive mode; and generating the output signal from the second baseband signal when the first transceiver is in the scan mode. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
