Certain aspects of a method and system for receiving audio, video and data services with advanced television systems committee (ATSC) enabled television sets may be provided. Aspects of the method may include conversion of a plurality of received quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) signals into a plurality of vestigial side band (VSB) signals within a set-top box. The set top box may tune to each of the plurality of received QAM signals and demodulate each of the plurality of received QAM signals into a plurality of bitstreams and demultiplex the plurality of bitstreams. The demultiplexed plurality of bitstreams may be modulated into a plurality of VSB signals. The plurality of VSB signals may be modulated into a plurality of RF signals. One or more of the plurality of RF signals may be communicated to at least one of a plurality of VSB enabled television sets.
