Patent ID: 8472940

Claim:
A method for synchronizing a tuner ( 14 ), a first signal being emitted over a first coverage zone having a first surface, the tuner ( 14 ) being located in the first coverage zone, the tuner ( 14 ) being synchronized with the first signal, in order to receive a first service, the method comprising: determining ( 100 ) the first surface of the first coverage zone, determining ( 102 ) second surfaces of second coverage zones, over each a respective second signal is emitted, determining ( 104 ), amongst the second coverage zones, overlapping with the first coverage zone, a second coverage zone, referred to as a most probable second coverage zone, whose second surface has a greatest overlapping with the surface of the first coverage zone, attempting ( 106 ) to synchronize the turner ( 14 ) with the second signal emitted over the most probable second coverage zone, in order to receive a second service.
