Abstract

A multi-media distribution apparatus (1) for supplying a plurality of video monitors (11a-e) with information derived from a multi-channel broadband R.F. pipe (5), comprises a hub (3) including a tuner (23) connected to the pipe (5). The hub 3 is connected via twisted pair cabling (7) to a number of video monitor interfaces (9a-e) each having a channel selection means (13). The channel selection means (13) can be operated to control the tuner (23) via the twisted pair cabling (7), and so select the required channel information for display on the respective video monitor (11a-e). <IMAGE>
