Teletext operation
Teletext is only available on certain broadcast channels. The time taken to display the teletext is determined by the broadcaster and not by the television.
Teletext is also used for Closed Captioning of television programmes for the hearing impaired. Closed captions can be found on Teletext Page 801.
Not all broadcast stations transmit closed captions in the same way. Some, but not all, of the methods are listed below:
1.A teletext screen appears and the closed captions are accessed like any other teletext page.
2.The picture remains on the screen while you type in 801.
3.The picture disappears while you type in 801. The picture stays black until the page is reached.
4.The picture disappears while you type in 801. The picture stays black until a programme containing closed captions is broadcast.
Some broadcast stations will have a message on the screen to tell you that closed captions are not available for this programme. Some broadcast stations give you no indication at all.
