Abstract

A pay-per-view program access control system which combines a television signal with a telephone control signal to allow a remotely located telephone connections to be coupled to a television receiver via a single wire or transmission line. The television signal is combined with the telephone control signal in the telco modulator (12) and the combined signals are then separated at a remote location by a splitter (14). Once separated, the television signal and telephone control signal can be used as if they had been transmitted to the remote location separately.
