Digital teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext.

Viewing Teletext

When you switch to a digital teletext service, the images you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster.

Switch to Teletext



DVB programmes have digital teletext services (MHEG).

Example:

17:51 28 Feb

 How to operate services

In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all manufacturers of digital equipment, some on-screen commands may not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.

Note



As soon as you switch to a digital channel 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 channel, 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, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download is complete.



While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that this is happening.

Analogue teletext

Teletext services are the text information provided by the broadcasters. The features may vary depending on the broadcasters.

What is FASTEXT mode?

In FASTEXT mode, four differently coloured subjects are situated at the bottom of the screen. To access more information about one of these subjects, press the appropriate coloured button. This facility enables fast access to information on the subjects shown.

What is List mode?

In List mode, four differently coloured page numbers are situated at the bottom of the screen. Each of these numbers can be altered and stored in the TV’s memory.
