The information signals are transferred to end users, customers, or service subscribers using at least two signal sources, generally satellites, and polarized radiation. Two polarization modes are employed, with the preferred modes being left-hand and right-hand circularly polarized radiation, although other polarization modes may be employed. The total number of channels can be divided among the polarization modes and transferred to end users either through the use of polarization switching in the receivers to selectively switch between the satellites, or by switching elements in the satellites (sources) to switch between polarization modes used for transmission.

1. A method for isolation of transmissions of multiple channels over communication signals from multiple signal sources comprising the steps of:dividing said channels into N groups of channels; transfer one of N groups of channels from one signal source using a first polarization mode; and transferring another of said N groups of channels from a second source using a second polarization mode that is substantially orthogonal to the first.
