Method and device for distribution of video information over single or multiple distribution networks, in particular TV-networks, where secondary programs of commercial character are sent parallel to, or in between, a series of main programs, where each program is supplied with a program code (PID-code) at a central location, which code contains information about the identity or character of the program as the basis for a selection of programs that will be presented to a recipient. In each receiver, one or more criteria for the selection of secondary programs are stored, and the selection criteria or selection codes are generated as a result of the viewer's reaction to a corresponding number of questions which are presented on the viewer's screen, on the basis of a program that is sent out from a central control unit. The selection criteria are stored only in a separate receiver, as the questions regard demographic circumstances and/or interests of the TV viewer.
