Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are MPEG Artefacts?
A. Somtimes the picture may appear to be slightly blocky. These are known as MPEG
artefacts. They are directly related to MPEG compression at the broadcast side. The
extent of artefacting is related to how fast the picture is moving, numbers of colours,
quality of the original material, the MPEG encoder used at the time, etc. This is not a
problem with the STB.
Q. I cannot get teletext to function?
A. The AUSTEXT Service is available on the Seven Network.
Q. Closed Captions don't always appear! Why?
A. Not all programs are captioned. News programs should always have captions available.
Q. Can I record Closed Captions on my VCR?
