1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a local network interface device operable to modulate video data to frequency blocks for communication via a local network, wherein a first frequency block of the frequency blocks is associated with a first user;
a processor; and
a memory that stores a metrics engine module, wherein the metrics engine module is executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to track at least one metric associated with the first user based on the video data modulated to the first frequency block.

Abstract
A video distribution system includes a local network interface operable to modulate video data to frequency blocks for communication via a local network. A first frequency block of the frequency blocks is associated with a first user. The video distribution system also includes a metrics engine operable to track at least one metric associated with the first user based on the video data modulated to the first frequency block.
