There is provided a new and useful method for dist- ribution of movies for viewing on a customer's television set, such method comprising the steps of sending digitized compressed optical signal containing audio and visual components of the movie selected by the customer from a repository source to the customer's receiver over a fiber optic network; passing the optical signal to an optical converter to convert the optical signals to corres- ponding electronic signals; passing the electronic signals to processors where they are decompressed and converted to audio and video signals compatible to conventional television sets and passing these converted signals to a conventional television set for viewing by the customer. As well, there is provided an apparatus for achieving this method. The apparatus comprises a receiver to receive from a source, data in digitized compressed optical signal format containing audio visual data corresponding to the movie, an optical converter to be electronically associated with the receiver to convert the optical signal data to corres- ponding audio and visual electrical signals, a video processor to be electronically associated with the optical converter to receive the video electronic signals, decompress them and convert them to electronic video signals compatible with the television set to provide a video image of the movie on the television set and an audio processor to be electronically associated with the optical converter to receive the audio electronic signals from the optical converter, decompress them and convert them to electronic audio signals compatible with the television set, the video processor and audio processor to be electronically associated with the television set to provide an audible sound tract of the movie.
