Claim 0:
1. A method providing a maximum diversity scheme for improving coverage area and diversity performance of a media system, comprising:
at an antenna module of the media system:
wirelessly receiving, via a receiver antenna of the antenna module, broadband radio frequency (RF) signals from a transmitter of the media system;
instantaneously converting, via a converter circuitry of the antenna module, the broadband RF signals into one or more digital baseband components;
deconstructing, via a processor unit of the antenna module, the digital baseband components by:
dividing the digital baseband components into a plurality of bands; and
for each band of the plurality of bands, converting the digital baseband components into a corresponding group of narrowband baseband signals for the band; and

for each band of the plurality of bands:
generating, via the same processor unit of the antenna module, a corresponding single digital data stream for the band by applying diversity processing to a corresponding group of narrowband baseband signals for the band to combine the corresponding group of narrowband baseband signals for the band into the corresponding single digital data stream for the band; and
outputting, via a wired interface of the antenna module, the corresponding single digital data stream for the band over a network cable to a device of the media system, wherein the corresponding single digital data stream for the band is outputted from the antenna module without demodulation;

wherein each receiver antenna of the antenna module utilizes the same processor unit for the deconstructing, the generating, and the outputting.
