ABSTRACT:
A cable television services security system includes a two-way communication system for transmitting a broadcast signal from a headend to subscribers and subscriber viewing information from a channel identifier located within a subscriber's home back to the headend. An addressable switch located outside of the subscriber's home compares the channel being viewed by the subscriber with a subscriber privilege code. If the subscriber is not authorized to view the channel, the broadcast signal being transmitted to the subscriber is interrupted.
