Depending on the broadcaster, the digital teletext (MHEG) services may not be available. In this case, the operation of
the teletext services may be the same as the analogue teletext services (p. 31).
Digital teletext (MHEG)
Digital teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext.
When you switch to a digital teletext service, the images you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and controlled
in a manner decided by the broadcaster.

How to operate services
In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the remote control, but
because the commands available must apply to all manufacturers of digital equipment,
some on-screen commands may not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.

As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background
to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for approximately
5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button
before download is complete, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download
is complete.
●
While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page
downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that this
is happening.
