ABSTRACT:
A receiver for receiving reception signals of a first type, for example, TV signals, and reception signals of a second type, for example FM-radio signals, is described. The receiver may be used in multimedia applications. In the receiver, an input section TVIN,FMIN,SWIN includes at least two inputs TVIN,FMIN to which reception signals can be applied. One input TVIN may, for example, be coupled to a cable network via which reception signals are distributed. The other input FMIN may, for example, be used to plug-in a simple wire antenna. In many cases, such a wire antenna will be sufficient to receive on-air reception signals with acceptable quality. The invention takes into consideration that on-air reception signals may not always be offered by the cable network. With at least two inputs TVIN,FMIN, there is flexibility of reception.
