The present invention allows for reception of programming from both satellites (11) and local sources (L) using a single receiving antenna (32). Beams (18) emanating from a geosynchronous satellite (11) are collected using the main lobe (36) of a home receiving antenna (32), while a rebroadcast signal (26) generated by an airplane (20) circling above the home (H) is simultaneously sensed using a side lobe (38) of the receiving antenna (32).

La présente invention offre la possibilité de recevoir des programmes en provenance de satellites (11) ou de sources locales (L) au moyen d'une seule antenne de réception (32). On regroupe les faisceaux (18) provenant d'un satellite géosynchrone (11) au moyen du lobe principal (36) d'une antenne de réception domestique (32); dans le même temps, le lobe latéral (38) de ladite antenne de réception (32) capte un signal de retransmission (26) émis par un avion (20) évoluant en cercles au-dessus du domicile (H).
