Abstract: A receiver is provided for extracting a digitally encoded transport stream from a broadband signal containing a plurality of channels. The receiver includes an input for receiving the broadband signal and a tuner for selecting a selected channel from the broadband signal. The receiver also includes a filter arrangement having a high pass filter and a low pass filter selectively coupling the input to the tuner such that an unselected one of the filters is coupled to ground. A demodulator is provided for demodulating a digitally encoded transport stream from the selected channel.

Abstract: A system and method for adjusting a video frequency response of a set-top terminal using a video frequency response filter. The video frequency response filter is included in a video processing subsystem. The video frequency response filter adjusts the video frequency response of the set-top terminal by using a set of filter coefficients determined by a microprocessor subsystem. The set of filter coefficients can be determined by various methods. One method is by measuring the frequency response degradation of the set-top terminal without the video frequency response filter installed in the set-top terminal. Another method is to measure the amplitude of a color burst signal included in the video input signal. Yet another method is to measure the amplitudes of a multi-burst signal included in the video input signal.
