Digital Teletext (MHEG)

Available in U.K. only

Digital teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext. When you switch to a Digital teletext service, the images you see contain graphics and text which are laid out and controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster. Some digital channels, which you select like any other channel, offer dedicated teletext services . Some digital channels also offer information on the programme being broadcast (a message or an instruction may appear on the screen).

&To use the digital teletext, follow the instructions on screen.

éDepending on the service, you can be

asked to use the Í Æ Î ï (cursor keys),

(coloured keys), (Teletext On/Off key) and sometimes

the numerical keys.

Note : If no coloured key links are not available in the Digital Teletext to allow you

to exit teletext mode, use the key on the remote control to exit teletext mode.

When you have finished watching teletext, select a different channel with P /+ keys or follow the on screen instructions to return to picture.

When you switch to a digital channel with links to a telext service, software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. You should wait for a while before you press

the key to allow the software download

to complete. If you press the key before the download is complete, there will be a short delay before the teletext screen is displayed.

While navigating the digital teletext, there is a short delay while the page downloads. A prompt or message is often seen on the page to let you know the progress.
