Additionally, this TV has access to dedicated text channels transmitted by the broadcasting authorities. The appearance, content and navigation methods of all digital text services are decided by the broadcaster. For example, the BBC’s digital text service may look different to ITV’s digital text. However, the digital text services currently available use simple navigation methods based on the following buttons:

The button to load up the digital text, The V, v, B and b buttons (to move around the screen), The OK button or the numbered buttons (to select items on screen), The four coloured buttons (to access shortcuts).
