Digital Teletext

Many digital terrestrial television channels not only broadcast pictures and

sound for programmes but also pages of information on the programmes,

the weather, news and many other topics.
Some channels are entirely given over to digital teletext and carry no normal

TV programme at all. These dedicated digital teletext channels will not give a

quarter-screen image in the EPG or the Channel List screen. When such a

channel is selected, after a brief pause, they will usually display the opening

page of information automatically.
Other channels have digital teletext pages broadcast alongside the television

programme and often include a reduced-size broadcast picture within digital

teletext pages. These usually require the teletext keys to be pressed to acti-

vate the digital teletext pages.

In both cases, moving through

the different pages of informa-

tion is accomplished in a variety

of ways, dependent on the indi-

vidual broadcasters, but includ-
ing use of the “ “, “ ”, “ “,
“ ” and “SELECT” keys to select

items from on-screen menus,

and the coloured keys to jump

directly to particular pages.
You can exit any digital teletext

channel by changing channel in

any of the normal ways. You can

leave the digital teletext function

of a combined digital teletext/

programme channel, to return to

normal television viewing of that
channel, by pressing the “

”

key.

Hint
Calling for the information banner

or any menu on-screen stops the

TV from displaying the digital tele-

text pages and they are temporarily

replaced by a blank picture while

the banner or menu is displayed.

Digital teletext cannot be accessed

when the Subtitles are enabled
