Abstract
The transmission system according to the invention employs a transmitter ( ) and a receiver ( ).

If the signal ( ) is transmitted via a network ( ), the transmitter ( ) is preferably arranged for transmitting the signal ( ) in dependence on the load of the network ( ). In this way, content information ( ) such as data, audio or video, can be transmitted during periods that the network ( ) provides sufficient capacity, e.g., during the night.
