Abstract
A television broadcasting method and apparatus. The broadcasting method generally includes the steps of multiplexing signals from a plurality of channels over a single carrier frequency, and transmitting the multiplexed signals to a reception circuit. The multiplexed signals are then demultiplexed at the reception circuit. The demultiplexed signals are then separated into separate channels, and then stored for a predetermined period of time. The signals of the selected channel are then decompressed and reconstructed on a real-time basis and are then displayed or viewed also on a real-time basis.
