As soon as you switch to a digital programme with links to a teletext service,

software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function.
This means that when switching to a digital programme, you should wait for
approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow
the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is
complete, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed.
While navigating digital teletext, you will fi nd there is a short delay when
