TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system and methods for distributing over the air (OTA) content, where an antenna system can include a network access point, which can be configured to perform operations, including receiving a signal associated with the media content from the OTA antenna system via the universal serial bus connection.
Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing over the air (OTA) content are provided. In one example, an antenna system can include a network access point. The antenna system can include an OTA antenna system configured to receive an OTA signal associated with media content. The OTA signal can be a VHF signal or a UHF signal. The OTA antenna system can be coupled to the network access point via a universal serial bus (USB) connection. The access point can be configured to perform operations, including receiving a signal associated with the media content from the OTA antenna system via the universal serial bus connection; and communicating media content via a network communication link to one or more client devices. The OTA antenna system can include a modal antenna configurable in a plurality of antenna modes. Each antenna mode can be associated with a distinct radiation pattern or polarization.
