Abstract

The present invention provides a method / an apparatus for relaying broadcast signals to a broadcast receiver. The apparatus comprises receiving means for receiving the broadcast signals, a steerable antenna for receiving location signals related to the location of the broadcast receiver, locating means for locating the direction of the broadcast receiver, and controlling means for controlling the steerable antenna to transmit the broadcast signals in the direction of the broadcast receiver. In this way, the relayed broadcast signals could become more concentrated, and its attenuation and interference could be reduced, especially for digital signal due to its strong directionality, thus the signal quality received by the broadcast receiver could be improved significantly.
