Patent ID: 7110049

Claim:
A method of installing a bouquet of digital broadcast programs broadcast on a transmission medium, on the basis of transponders of at least two types whose minimum symbol frequency is different, wherein the frequency band is traversed using a quantization interval corresponding to the minimum symbol frequency of at least one transponder of a first type, each of the said transponders of the said first type being associated with a signaling table, so as to search for at least one of the said transponders of the said first type contained in this frequency band, and if a transponder of the said first type is found, parameters of the various transponders of first or of second type which are referenced in the said signaling table are extracted from the signaling table associated with the said transponder and, services associated with said transponder and with the various transponders referenced in the said signaling table are installed and, if no transponder of the said first type is found in the said frequency band, the said frequency band is traversed using a quantization interval corresponding to the minimum symbol frequency of at least one transponder of a second type so as to search for at least one of the said transponders of the said second type contained in this frequency band and services associated with each transponder of the said second type contained in the said frequency band are installed.
