What is Teletext?
Teletext is an information service, organized like a magazine, which is
provided by some television stations in addition to regular television
broadcasting. Your television receives special Teletext signals broadcast
by a TV station, processes the information and displays it graphically on
the screen. News, weather and sports information, stock exchange
prices, program previews and closed captioning for the deaf are among
the many services available through Teletext.
Teletext information is organized much like a magazine: according to
pages and sub-pages. The basic unit of displayed information is the page.
A sub-page is one of a series of pages.
Teletext reception is controlled by using the remote control. Refer to the
appropriate button descriptions for operation of the Teletext functions.
Teletext features
Depending on the TV programme, the Teletext pages are transmitted
