Abstract
Television distribution apparatus includes a satellite television receiving station for receiving and demodulating a television signal transmitted as a frequency modulated signal from a satellite. Timing information is recovered from the demodulated television signal. The amplitude of data portions of the demodulated television signal is adjusted in response to the timing information to a level suitable for transmission using amplitude modulation. The original amplitude of television information portions of the signal is maintained. The demodulated television signal with the adjusted data portions is amplitude modulated for distribution to a plurality of subscriber locations.
