Networked antenna and transport system unit
First Claim
1. A system for delivering content, comprising:
- a content transmission source configured to transmit content by at least a broadcast transmission;
a network antenna transport system unit configured to receive content by broadcast transmission and coupled to a local area network; and
a receiver controller located remotely from the network antenna transport system and coupled to the local area network, whereinthe receiver controller is configured to provide commands to the network antenna transport system to capture content via the broadcast transmission, andthe captured content is stored in the receiver controller for presentation on a display device under control of the receiver controller.

Abstract
A networked antenna transport system unit receiving at least broadcast transmissions is described. In one embodiment, an apparatus for redirecting content includes an antenna element array for receiving content from a broadcast transmission. This antenna element array is coupled to receiver electronics via an amplifier and a switch for processing the received content; the receiver electronics is further coupled to a sender module which is remotely coupled to a receiver module in a receiver controller via a local area network; and the sender module is configured to transmit the processed received content via the local area network to the receiver module in the receiver controller for storage and selective display on a display device. Other embodiments are also described.
