Abstract
A method of transmitting broadband video services from a broadband digital signal source which includes forming the digital signal from said source into a plurality of channels of digital signals and modulating a plurality of carrier signals with respective channels of the digital signals. The resultant modulated channels are multiplexed to form a combined signal which is then used to modulate light from a laser light source. The modulated light signal is transmitted along a light fibre to a local distribution box where it is converted to electrical signals and broadcast to a number of subscriber set top terminals, Each set top terminal detects the modulated signal of a channel pre-assigned to that set top terminal. User control information is also received by that set top terminal and transmitted to the central office.
