Abstract
An antenna assembly is disclosed that comprises a terrestrial antenna and a support that mounts the antenna assembly on a satellite dish antenna. The satellite dish antenna has a convex/concave configuration, a periphery, a front signal receiving surface. The terrestrial antenna comprises a pair of dipoles. A power amplifier has an input connected to the terrestrial antenna to receive and amplify its terrestrial video signal. A diplexer is further provided and has first and second input terminals and an output terminal. The second input terminal is connected to the power amplifier to receive the amplified terrestrial video signal. The first input terminal is adapted to be connected to the satellite dish to receive the satellite video signal. The diplexer operates to sum the amplified terrestrial signal and the satellite video signal to provide an aggregate signal to the output terminal.
