A transceiver system (200) for receiving content contained in a secure digital broadcast signal (370). The transceiver system includes a first component (340) for generating a data stream from a received digital broadcast signal. A first encryption unit (311) is coupled to the first component. The first encryption unit is configured to encrypt the data stream generated from the digital broadcast signal, resulting in encrypted data stream. Transceiver system includes a second component (350) for generating a video signal for a monitor to view that content contained in digital broadcast signal. A second encryption unit (312) is coupled to the second component for decrypting the encrypted data stream received from the first component. A third component (360) is for arbitration to coordinate the transmission of the encrypted data stream from the first encryption unit to the second encryption unit.
