Abstract

See full text

In a cable television system in which the individual subscriber's converter/tuner is located outside the subscriber's premises in an external control unit ('ECU') and controlled remotely via a subscriber processing unit ('SPU') connected to the ECU by a drop cable, data transmitted from the SPU to the ECU (e.g., channel selection data) is verified by transmitting similar echo back data from the ECU to the SPU. The SPU compares the original and echo back data to assure that the ECU correctly received the original data.
