●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 |
|

|
|
|

|
|
●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. |
