Digital Teletext

Many digital terrestrial television channels not only broadcast pictures and sound for programmes but also pages of information on the programmes, the weather, news and many other topics.

Some channels are entirely given over to digital teletext and carry no normal TV programme at all. These dedicated digital teletext channels will not give a quarter-screen image in the EPG or the Channel List screen. When such a channel is selected, after a brief pause, they will usually display the opening page of information automatically.

Other channels have digital teletext pages broadcast alongside the television programme and often include a reduced-size broadcast picture within digital teletext pages. These usually require the teletext keys to be pressed to acti- vate the digital teletext pages.

In both cases, moving through the different pages of informa- tion is accomplished in a variety of ways, dependent on the indi- vidual broadcasters, but includ-

ing use of the ““, “”, ““,

” and “SELECT” keys to select items from on-screen menus, and the coloured keys to jump directly to particular pages.

You can exit any digital teletext channel by changing channel in any of the normal ways. You can leave the digital teletext function of a combined digital teletext/ programme channel, to return to normal television viewing of that

channel, by pressing the “” key.

Hint

Calling for the information banner or any menu on-screen stops the TV from displaying the digital tele- text pages and they are temporarily replaced by a blank picture while the banner or menu is displayed. Digital teletext cannot be accessed when the Subtitles are enabled (See Advanced operation - Config- uring Your Receiver.
