Video Alternate Network Access Points and Receivers

A method comprising:

• ingesting, by a video alternate network access point of a satellite dish system, a satellite video feed directly from a satellite dish receiver of the satellite dish system, wherein the video alternate network access point is directly connected to the satellite dish receiver;
• activating, by the video alternate network access point, a microcell transceiver embedded within the video alternate network access point of the satellite dish system;
• identifying, by the video alternate network access point, a multicast-broadcast single-frequency network channel;
• and
• transmitting, to a video alternate network receiver device from the microcell transceiver, the satellite video feed over at least the multicast-broadcast single-frequency network channel.

A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processor of a video alternate network access point of a satellite dish system, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• ingesting a satellite video feed directly from a satellite dish receiver of the satellite dish system, wherein the video alternate network access point is directly connected to the satellite dish receiver,
• activating a microcell transceiver embedded within the video alternate network access point of the satellite dish system,
• identifying a multicast-broadcast single-frequency network channel, and
• transmitting, to a video alternate network receiver device from the microcell transceiver, the satellite video feed over at least the multicast-broadcast single-frequency network channel.
