A system for distributing television signals comprises a first terminal which receives a coaxial cable, at least one second terminal which receives a twisted pair of conductors, and an amplifier system comprising a unit for selecting either a first slope or a second slope of increasing gain as a function of frequency between a signal present at the first terminal and a signal present at the second terminal. A method of distributing television signals includes a step of obtaining a system of the above kind, a step of determining a threshold for the length of the pair, and a step of selecting the first slope when the twisted pair has a length less than the threshold and the second slope when the twisted pair has a length greater than the threshold.
