Abstract

The invention refers to a communications system, in particular a system for the reception, processing, and distribution of signals, with at least one central communication unit (1), a control equipment unit (2), a signal processing unit (6), which form the head (42) of the system, a distribution network (5), and user terminals (3). According to the invention an interactive service and/or configuration menu for the system is presented on a graphic terminal (20). In particular the graphic terminal consists of a televison screen (60).
