receiving, by an input terminal, an input signal comprising broadcast channels, the broadcast channels comprising a plurality of desired channels and a plurality of undesired channels, wherein the plurality of desired channels are non-contiguous;
processing, by a radio front end coupled to the input terminal, the input signal to generate a processed input signal;
digitizing, by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to the radio front end, the processed input signal to generate a digitized signal;
selecting, by a digital frontend (DFE) coupled to the ADC, the plurality of desired channels from the digitized signal; and
outputting, by the DFE, the selected plurality of desired channels to at least one demodulator as a digital datastream, wherein the demodulator extracts information encoded in the digital datastream.
