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