A bidirectional or unidirectional information handling system for data exchange and distribution. The system includes a data repository system and a data display system. The systems are linked for data exchange by a broadband channel for unidirectional high data flow rates and, in some embodiments, by a narrowband channel for bidirectional lower data flow rates. The display system may take a number of forms, including personal communications assistants, desktop personal computers, and set top boxes. The data communication channels may be defined by a number of different protocols and bandwidth segments and may be wireline or wireless.
