Abstract
A method for distributing broadband services which essentially provides for separating the broadband front end of a receiver from the rest of the circuit and placing it in the fiber node or in the utility closets of a building with connection to the coaxial cable; the front end is then connected to an ADSL modem or to a modulator or to an amplifier and the signal is transferred to an adder; the two signals are then carried, over the existing telephone wire pair, to an individual end user, where the signals are split to the telephone and to the television set.

A method for distributing broadband services, comprising the steps of:
- separating a broadband front end of a receiver from other portions of a circuit of the receiver;
- placing said front end in utility closets of a building;
- connecting said front end to a modulator-demodulator or to a modulator or to an amplifier;
- transferring a signal from said modulator-demodulator and a signal from a telephone exchange to an adder or transferring the signal from a modulator or amplifier and the signal from the telephone exchange to the adder in order to mix the broadband and telephone services;
- transferring a signal, output by the adder, over a telephone wire pair to an individual end user;
- splitting the signal output by the adder to a telephone and to a television set;
- said front end selecting a channel to be received, said selection being requested by a decoder over an upstream channel driven by a command transmitter and being interpreted and executed by a command receiver.
