Digital text service

Digital text services (MHEG) differ greatly from analogue teletext.

When you switch to a digital text 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 digital text service, software is downloaded in the background over air to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing TEXT - this will allow the software to be downloaded. If you press TEXT before download is complete, it will be ignored and you will have to press TEXT again when the download is complete.
