27 The need for a larger number of user bands over a single cable is motivated by leading DTH operators’ strategies to address consumers’ demand to access TV programs and content across screens and locations through the development of next generation home gateways featuring multi tuners and enabling multi screen and multi room services around subscribers’ homes. Additionally, offering a larger number of user bands significantly reduces the cost and complexity of multi dwelling units (MDU) and hospitality installations as more STBs can share a single coax cabling run of a compatible LNB or Multiswitch. Unicable II™ products embed best of breed digital channel stacking technologies which uses digital signal processing after wideband analog to digital converters to select and reorder transponder channels. The selected and reordered channels are up-converted and are stacked into L-band through digital to analog converters. Compared with analog channel stacking, which is based on analog frequency translation to fixed frequency slots, the digital channel stacking implementation removes the need of in-band SAW filters, offers a full flexibility of channel selection, and supports many more set top boxes through a single L-band cable at much lower cost and lower power consumption. The Unicable II™ products are backward compatible supporting the older EN50494 standard as well as the latest EN50607 standard. Unicable II TM
