What is Teletext?
Teletext broadcasts pages of information and entertainment to specially equipped television sets. Your plasma television receives Teletext signals broadcast by TV networks, and decodes them into graphical format for viewing. News, weather and sports information, stock exchange prices and programme previews are among many services available.
