ABSTRACT:
A method and system for broadcasting at least one of a plurality of digitally encoded signals transmitted by a network provider to a plurality of user programmable devices disposed in a single environment. A remote interface unit is coupled to each of the user programmable devices for receiving a user programming from one of the plurality of user programmable devices. The user programming selects one of the plurality of compressed, digitally encoded signals. A common set-top transceiver is operatively connected to each of the remote interface units and the network provider including a first receiver for receiving the user programming from each of the remote interface units and a transmitter for transmitting the user programming to the network provider. The common set-top transceiver also includes a second receiver for receiving the selected one of the plurality of digitally encoded signals from the network provider and at least one video processing module for broadcasting the selected one of the plurality of digitally encoded signals to the plurality of user programmable devices based on the user programming.
