channels and some Digital TV channels will be missing.

How to use
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.
For example:
When “select” or “go” is displayed ●
When “◄”, “►”, “▲”, “▼” symbol is displayed ●
When “back key” is displayed ●

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, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed.
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.
