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.
