===TV and video===
A [[television]] antenna may be described as "broadband" because it is capable of receiving a wide range of channels, while e.g. a low-VHF antenna is "narrowband" since it receives only 1 to 5 channels. The U.S. federal standard FS-1037C defines "broadband" as a synonym for [[wideband]].<ref>{{cite web |title= Definition: broadband |website= Federal Standard 1037C, Glossary of Telecommunication Terms |year= 1996 |url= http://www.its.bldrdoc.gov/fs-1037/dir-005/_0722.htm |access-date= July 19, 2011 |url-status= live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120505172629/http://www.its.bldrdoc.gov/fs-1037/dir-005/_0722.htm |archive-date= May 5, 2012 }}</ref> "Broadband" in [[Analog signal|analog]] [[video]] distribution is traditionally used to refer to systems such as [[cable television]], where the individual channels are [[modulation|modulated]] on carriers at fixed frequencies.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ljySKDNHiP4C&q=%22broadband+video%22+cable+tv&pg=PA349|title=HTI+ Home Technology Integration and CEDIA Installer I All-in-One Exam Guide|isbn=9780072231328|last1=Gilster|first1=Ron|last2=Heneveld|first2=Helen|date=2004-06-22|publisher=McGraw Hill Professional |access-date=2020-11-09|archive-date=2023-06-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230628171647/https://books.google.com/books?id=ljySKDNHiP4C&q=%22broadband+video%22+cable+tv&pg=PA349|url-status=live}}</ref> In this context, [[baseband]] is the term's [[antonym]], referring to a single channel of analog video, typically in [[Composite video|composite]] form with separate baseband [[Sound recording and reproduction|audio]].<ref name="cablinginstall.com">{{cite web|last1=Baxter|first1=Les A.|last2=Georger|first2=William H.|title=Transmitting video over structured cabling systems|url=http://www.cablinginstall.com/articles/print/volume-3/issue-8/contents/standards/transmitting-video-over-structured-cabling-systems.html|website=www.cablinginstall.com|publisher=AT&T Bell Laboratories|access-date=April 16, 2017|date=August 1, 1995|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150929135815/http://www.cablinginstall.com/articles/print/volume-3/issue-8/contents/standards/transmitting-video-over-structured-cabling-systems.html|archive-date=September 29, 2015}}</ref> The act of demodulating converts broadband video to baseband video. Fiber optic allows the signal to be transmitted farther without being repeated. Cable companies use a hybrid system using fiber to transmit the signal to neighborhoods and then changes the signal from light to radio frequency to be transmitted over coaxial cable to homes. Doing so reduces the use of having multiple head ends. A [[Cable television headend|head end]] gathers all the information from the local cable networks and movie channels and then feeds the information into the system.

However, "broadband video" in the context of [[Streaming media|streaming]] Internet video has come to mean video files that have [[bit rate#Bit-rates in multimedia|bit-rates]] high enough to require broadband Internet access for viewing. "Broadband video" is also sometimes used to describe [[IPTV]] [[Video on demand]].<ref>{{cite news |author=Mark Sweney |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/feb/07/bt.digitaltvradio |title=BT Vision boasts 150,000 customers &#124; Media |newspaper=The Guardian |date=2008-02-07 |access-date=2016-06-21 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170129102553/https://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/feb/07/bt.digitaltvradio |archive-date=2017-01-29}}</ref>
