Viewing Teletext

You can enjoy teletext broadcasting, including news, weather forecasts and subtitles, if this service is provided by the broadcasters.

What is FASTEXT mode?

In FASTEXT mode, four differently coloured subjects are situated at the bottom of the screen. To access more information about one of these subjects, press the appropriately coloured button. This facility enables fast access to information on the subjects shown.
