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. This digital teletext can be displayed by the
FreeView receiver.
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 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 [TEXT] button to be pressed to activate
the digital teletext pages.
In both cases, moving through the different pages of information is accomplished in a variety of ways, dependent on
the individual broadcasters, but including use of the [UP], [DOWN], [LEFT], [RIGHT] 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 [TEXT] key.
Hint:Calling for the information banner or any menu on-screen stops the receiver from displaying the digital teletext 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 .
