Basic Operation

Viewing Digital Teletext

Many broadcasters now provide a Digital Teletext service in the form of a dedicated Teletext channel.
This Digital service includes high quality text and graphics along with advanced navigation options.

The appearance, content and navigation methods of all Digital Text services are decided by the
broadcaster. For example, Digital Text from the BBC may look different to Digital Text from ITV which
may use different navigation methods. Most of the Digital Text services currently available use simple
navigation methods based on the following buttons:

The

button (Text button) to load Digital Teletext.

The

V, v, B and b buttons (to move around the screen),

The OK button (to select items on screen),
The

button (to cancel a selection or exit Digital Teletext),

The four coloured buttons (to access shortcuts).
