1. A video distribution system comprising:
- a receiver to receive a plurality of video data streams;
a splitter to separate a first video data stream and a second video data stream from the plurality of video data streams; and
a combiner to output a composite signal for communication via a first network, the composite signal comprising the first video data stream modulated to a first radio frequency band associated with a first user and the second video data stream modulated to a second radio frequency band associated with a second user.

Abstract
A video distribution system is provided. The video distribution system includes a receiver to receive a plurality of video data streams. The video distribution system also includes a splitter to separate a first video data stream and a second video data stream from the plurality of video data streams. The video distribution system further includes a combiner to output a composite signal for communication via a first network. The composite signal includes the first video data stream modulated to a first radio frequency band associated with a first user and the second video data stream modulated to a second radio frequency band associated with a second user.
