FIG.

8

shoWs

another

embodiment

of

a

home

entertainment

system

802

With an

attached

telephone

base

station

836.

The

components

and

structures

described

in

the

embodiment

described

in

FIG.

8

depart

from

the

embodi

ment

described

in

FIG.

1

only

insofar

as

the

addition

of

an

attached

telephone

base

station

836

and

short-range

mobile

phone

838.

A

telephone

base

station

836

is

attached

to

the

satellite

set-top-boX

100,

800

to

permit

use of

a

home

telephone

system

With

the

Wireless

device

818

and

Wireless

antenna

812.

In

this

embodiment,

a

short-range

mobile

phone

838

is

Wirelessly

connected

to

the

base

station.

In

an

alternative

embodiment

(not

shoWn),

a

traditional

corded

telephone

(not

shoWn)

and

a

phone

line

(not

shoWn)

may

be

used

in

place

of

or

in

combination

With

the

short-range

mobile

phone

838

and

telephone

base

station

836.

The

mobile

phone

838

may

be any

type

of

cordless

or

portable

phone

transmitting

on

several

frequencies

such

as

900

MHZ

or 2.4

GHZ.

One

skilled

in

the

art

Will

recogniZe

that

other

cordless

phone

transmission

frequencies

are

possible.

One

skilled

in

the

art

Will

also

recogniZe

that

other

types

of

landline

phones

or

customer

premises

equipment

(CPE)

may

be used

With

the

satellite

set-top-boX.

[0053]

The

mobile

phone 838

can

transmit

the

telephone

signal

to

the

base

station

836.

The

base

station

836

may

act

as

a

relay.

After

receiving

the

telephone

signal,

the

base

station

836

may

send

the

signal

to

the

satellite

set-top-boX

800.

The

base

station

836

may

communicate

With

the

satellite

set-top-boX

800,

for

example,

using an

RJ-11

style

telephone

connection.

The

satellite

set-top-boX

800

may

send

the

telephone

signal

to

the

Wireless

device

818

and

Wireless

antennae

812

for

transmission,

for

eXample,

through

the

Wireless

netWork

to

the

Public

SWitched

Tele

phone

NetWork

(PSTN).

Thus,

the

Wireless

device

818

may

be used

for

data

and

voice

transmissions. In

another

embodi

ment,

the

base

station

836

may

send

the

telephone

signal

directly

to

the

Wireless

device

818.

In

this

Way,

the

satellite

set-top-boX

800

may

be

bypassed.

One

skilled

in

the

art

Will

recogniZe

other

methods

for

attaching

the

base

station

836

or

local

telephone

to

the

system.
