Abstract

In a CATV system, power supplies of television sets associated with all terminal units are cut in response to an instruction contained in a down-data signal supplied by a central facility of the system. It is possible to cut the power supplies of the television sets, selectively and periodically, by incorporating address informations in the down-data signal.
