A first antenna (16) at a user location (14) receives signals at
a first frequency where the signals are travelling only within a first directional
reception range as measured from a centerline (28) of the first antenna
(16). The first antenna (16) has its centerline (28) aligned
to receive direct broadcast satellite signals transmitted from a satellite in geosynchronous
orbit about the earth. A second antenna (18) at the user location (14)
receives signals at the first frequency where the signals are travelling only within
a second directional reception range as measured from a centerline (30)
of the second antenna (18). The second antenna (18) is aligned to
receive signals transmitted at the first frequency from a terrestrial transmitting
location remote from the user location. A terrestrial transmitter transmits signals
at the first frequency and directionally within a terrestrial azimuth range from
the terrestrial transmitting location. The terrestrial transmitting location is
located with respect to the user location (14) such that the terrestrial
transmitter (20) transmits in directions only outside of the directional
reception range of the first antenna (16). The satellite (12) is
positioned with respect to the user location (14) such that the satellite
transmits directional in directions outside of the directional reception range
of the second antenna (18).
