Digital teletext (MHEG)
Digital teletext services
Digital teletext services differ greatly from analogue 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.

•
The availability of teletext services for a programme is indicated by “TXT” in the information banner.
Note
•
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.
