Calling up your cable provider might be a good starting point as they would know what service providers in the area handle things like this. Tell them you are looking at putting a private cable network in to your building and they should be able to help.
Aug 29, 2013 at 17:16 comment added John Qualis Can suggest some hardware that I can look into? Can I also broadcast using an IP camera mounted on a desktop the same way?
Aug 29, 2013 at 16:12 comment added AJ Henderson Alternately to using the computer for playback, you could probably use a pre-built on-demand video system that you could upload the files to and have it handle it. That would be easier to integrate most likely and may even be cheaper.
Aug 29, 2013 at 16:09 comment added AJ Henderson You don't intercept it and add your signal to it. You actually rebroadcast it all on your own network. You break out the actual channels as individual signals and then put those signals on your own channels. You would have to be running your own private cable network. The signal from your computer would be run in just like any of the other channels, though some specialized hardware may be able to take care of remapping the channels for you internally. You then need the bi-directional hardware to control the computer's playback.
Aug 29, 2013 at 16:08 comment added John Qualis I guess I will need to intercept the signal when it enters the building. Then have the hardware to add my own signal to it. What would I need to do to intercept the cable tv signal and then add my own signal? How can I convert a video stream from my desktop into a cable tv signal and how can I add this signal and re-broadcast it?
