A tuner includes a mixer which receive first and second inputs via a
multiplexer in different frequency ranges from different sources such as
cable and satellite. A local oscillator supplies signals via a bandswitch
which switches the local oscillator frequency range in synchronism with
the selection of inputs by the multiplexer. The mixer converts the
selected incoming data stream to zero or near-zero intermediate frequency
and this signal is filtered exclusively by a variable bandwidth low-pass
filter before being converted to the digital domain and demodulated.
