A mapping is established between a number of converter channels and a number of frequencies of the media server. A mapping is also established among SCSI ports of the media server. At least one of a number of converter channels and at least one of a number of frequencies are allocated to at least one user in accordance with the established mapping. Digital video data is converted to analog video data using at least one of the number of allocated converter channels. The analog data is transmitted to clients using the frequencies. The analog data may be modulated to produce cable television signals or modulated to produce ultrahigh frequency and very high frequency television signals.
