Customer premises equipment receives high-speed downstream data over a cable television system and transmits lower speed upstream signaling on a separate channel

摘要: In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a home controller receives signals from cable television system and utilizes demodulator tuned to RF frequency channel which carries data information. The demodulates encoded into conventional baseband digital form are transmitted packet receiver decodes packets addressed individual users. If is user, transmits corresponding such as by ETHERNET transceiver user's personal computer. A communication may be utilized provide interface between computer demodulator, thereby enabling select tuned, in order permit multiple channels utilized.
