Abstract:
1. A system for delivering a plurality of video blocks to a user terminal serviced by a remote node comprising: a broadband signal source for providing a broadband signal; a first WDM having an input port and a plurality of output ports, wherein said broadband signal is forwarded to said input port of said first WDM and further wherein said first WDM separates said broadband signal into a plurality of optical bands output to said output ports of said first WDM; a plurality of modulators, wherein each of said plurality of modulators modulate one of said optical bands with a composite signal representing data in a plurality of independent RF blocks to form a plurality of modulated signals; a second WDM configured to receive said plurality of modulated signals, wherein said second WDM forms a combined broadcast signal for output on an output port of said second WDM; a feeder fiber, wherein said remote node receives said combined broadcast signal via said feeder fiber; and a distribution fiber for distributing said combined broadcast signal to a user's site to enable a satellite set-top box at said user's site to select a RF block.
