Abstract
In many countries, good radio and TV coverage is provided via broadband cable, especially in densely populated areas. These cable links have either a bandwidth of about 400 MHz (approx. 50 - 450 MHz) or about 800 MHz (approx. 50 - 860 MHz). In addition to the VHF and UHF band known from terrestrial television, special channels are occupied. Analog television programs can be received easily with a conventional TV set without additional complexities which is why this type of TV coverage is of such great interest to many. The only obstacle in comparison with analog satellite TV reception is the additional monthly line charge with which a satellite receiving system would pay for itself within one year in many cases. If the satellite dish is large enough, the picture quality is often better than via broadband cable since intermodulation products sometimes result in visible interference due to the multiple channel allocation in broadband cable.
