1. An antenna system comprising:

  • a plurality of circuit boards, each of the circuit boards including a two dimensional array of antenna elements for separately receiving over the air broadcasts and an encoder system for simultaneously demodulating the over air broadcasts received by the separate antenna elements, the encoder system transcoding the over the air broadcasts from MPEG2 content data;

    a card cage for housing the circuit boards,an antenna optimization and control system that determines which of the antenna elements within the antenna array are available and optimized to receive particular over the air broadcasts requested by users and uses those antenna elements to receive over the air broadcasts for those users; and

    a data storage system that stores the content data from the encoder system.
