Abstract: A video program distribution system is described in which the video programs in the form of video signal modulation on carrier waves is applied to a common video transmission line and, by that line, to a remote switching station, or street unit, associated with each of the system's customers. each customer has a video transmission extension line which interconnects his television receiver or monitor with the remote switching station. The remote switching station includes switches which can be actuated from the sending station for controlling whether or not programs are passed through the remote switching station from the common transmission line to a particular customer. In addition, the remote switching station includes means for recording customer preferences and for reporting those preferences to the sending station.
