Abstract
The method includes determining (100) a first surface of a first coverage zone, determining (102) second surfaces of second coverage zones, determining (104), amongst the second coverage zones, a second coverage zone, referred to as the most probable second coverage zone, whose second surface has the greater overlapping with the surface of the first coverage zone, and attempting (106) to synchronize the turner with a second signal emitted over the most probable second coverage zone, in order to receive a second service.

Method for synchronizing a tuner (14), a first signal being emitted over a first coverage zone having a first surface, the tuner (14) being located in the first coverage zone, the tuner (14) being synchronized with the first signal, in order to receive a first service,
- the method being characterized by:
- determining (100) the first surface of the first coverage zone,
- determining (102) second surfaces of second coverage zones, over each a respective second signal is emitted,
- determining (104), amongst the second coverage zones, a second coverage zone, referred to as the most probable second coverage zone, whose second surface has the greater overlapping with the surface of the first coverage zone,
- attempting (106) to synchronize the turner (14) with the second signal emitted over the most probable second coverage zone, in order to receive a second service.
Device (18) for synchronizing a tuner (14), characterized in that it comprises:
- a module (20) for determining a first surface of a first coverage zone, in which the tuner (14) is located, and over which a first signal is emitted, the tuner (14) being synchronized with the first signal in order to receive a first service,
- a module (22) for determining second surfaces of second coverage zones, over each a respective second signal is emitted,
- a module (24) for determining, amongst the second coverage zones, a second coverage zone, referred to as the most probable second coverage zone, whose second surface has the greater overlapping with the surface of the first coverage zone,
- a module (26) for attempting to synchronize the tuner (14) with second signal of the most probable second coverage zone, in order to receive a second service.
