Abstract:
1. A method for delivering a plurality of video blocks to a user terminal serviced by a remote node comprising the steps of: receiving, by a first WDM, a broadband signal from a broadband signal source; separating, by said first WDM, said broadband signal into a plurality of optical bands; modulating each of the plurality of optical bands with a composite signal representing data in a plurality of independent RF blocks to form a plurality of modulated signals; forwarding said plurality of modulated signals to a second WDM to form a combined broadcast signal; transmitting said combined broadcast signal over feeder fiber to a remote node; further transmitting said combined broadcast signal over distribution fiber to a user's site; and selecting a RF block for distribution over a distribution fiber to a satellite set-top box at a user's site.
