Abstract PCT No. PCT/FR90/00441 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 4, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 4, 1991 PCT Filed Jun. 19, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/00646 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 10, 1991.A system intended for the simultaneous reception of several TV channels retransmitted by satellites. This system comprises a multi-frequency microwave frequency head, installed in an external unit, whose inputs are connected to the satellite antennas. Wide band demodulation is made possible by a microwave frequency source controlled by a synthesizer. Digital signals transmitted by a link cable ensure programming of the synthesizer and therefore of the selected TV channels. A remodulation in amplitude modulation is performed for supplying signals in the 40-860 MHz band, carried by an existing link cable for terrestrial antennas. The system finds particular application to the simultaneous reception of several TV channels.
