Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9916246A2] A pay-per-view program access control system which combines a television signal with a telephone control signal to allow a remotely located telephone connection to be coupled to a television receiver via a signal wire or transmission line. The television signal is combined with the telephone control signal and the combined signals are then separated at a remote location by a splitter. Once separated, the television signal and telephone control signal can be used as if they had been transmitted to the remote location separately.
