Method and system for multi-service reception
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a support structure;
a satellite signal reflector mounted to said support structure;
a signal processing assembly mounted to said support structure;
a first conductive wire having a first end attached to said satellite signal reflector and a second end attached to either said support structure or said signal processing assembly; and
circuitry for processing a first signal received as a result of electromagnetic radiation incident on said first wire.

Abstract
A multi-service antenna may comprise: a support structure, a reflector mounted to the support structure, a signal processing assembly mounted with the support structure, a first wire strung between the reflector and the support structure and/or the signal processing assembly, and circuitry for processing a first signal received as a result of electromagnetic radiation (e.g., terrestrial television and/or cellular signals) incident on the first wire. The circuitry for processing the first signal may be housed in the signal processing assembly. A second wire may also be strung between the reflector and the support structure and/or the signal processing assembly, and the circuitry may be operable to perform diversity processing of signals received via the two wires.

10. A system comprising:
-
a satellite dish assembly; a plurality of antenna elements mounted to said satellite dish assembly, said plurality of antenna elements being configured for reception of terrestrial signals; and circuitry, mounted with said satellite dish assembly, for diversity combining of a plurality of signals via said plurality of antenna elements, wherein; each of said plurality of antenna elements comprises a wire attached to said satellite dish assembly at two attachment points; a location of one or both of said attachment points is adjustable; and adjustment of said location of one or both of said attachment points of a particular one of said plurality of antenna elements alters an angle between said particular one of said antenna elements and a satellite signal reflector of said satellite dish assembly. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
