Abstract: A direct broadcast system receiving a plurality of broadcast signals within a direct broadcast receiver having an outdoor unit (ODU) is provided. The ODU includes a first low noise block (LNB) and a second LNB. The first LNB has a housing and amplifies a first broadcast signal. The second LNB amplifies a second broadcast signal. The ODU is electrically coupled to an integrated receiver and decoder (IRD). The IRD transmits a selection signal to the ODU. The first LNB and the second LNB are electrically coupled to a plurality of selection switches within the housing. The plurality of selection switches switch between the first LNB and the second LNB in response to the selection signal. A method of receiving a plurality of broadcast signals within a direct broadcast receiver is also provided.

Abstract: A satellite system 10 includes an outdoor unit that has an LNB 24. The antenna of the outdoor unit is aligned using a microwave energy-absorbing cap. The microwave-absorbing cap has microwave-absorbing material therein or thereon. A signal strength meter is used to measure the signal strength with the cap on so that the signal strength meter is less likely to be saturated during the alignment process.

Abstract translation: 卫星系统10包括具有LNB24的室外单元。室外单元的天线使用微波能量吸收帽对准。微波吸收帽在其中或其上具有微波吸收材料。使用信号强度计来测量信号强度，盖子打开，信号强度计在对准过程中不太可能饱和。

Abstract: A system and method includes a user device having a subscriber activation client application stored therein. The user device prompts entry of an ordering identifier and receives the ordering identifier through a user interface. A subscriber activation system is in communication with the user device through a secure network. The subscriber activation system receives the ordering identifier from the user device. The subscriber activation system verifies the ordering information and generates an activation signal from the order identifier. The subscriber activation system communicates the activation signal to the user device to activate the user device.
