19 Digital teletext (MHEG)
Available in U.K. only
Digital teletext services differ greatly from
analogue teletext. When you switch to a
Digital teletext service, the images you see
contain graphics and text which are laid out
and controlled in a manner decided by the
broadcaster. Some digital channels, which you
select like any other channel, offer dedicated
teletext services. Some digital channels also
offer information on the programme being
broadcast (a message or an instruction may
appear on the screen).
Under certain circumstances, Digital text or
interactive services may have priority over
subtitles. This can result in the subtitles not
automatically reapperaing when leaving Digital
text or interactive services on a channel
which is broadcasting subtitles. In these cases,
subtiltes can be intialised either by toggling
the key on the remote control or by
changing channel.

Depending on the service, you can
be asked to use the Í Æ Î ï (cursor
keys), (colour keys),
(Teletext On/Off key) and
sometimes the / numerical
keys.
Note
If no colour key links are available
in the Digital Teletext to allow you to
exit teletext mode, use the key
instead.

When you have finished watching
teletext, select a different channel with
P – / + keys or follow the on screen
instructions to return to picture.
When you switch to a digital channel
with links to a telext service, software is
downloaded in the background to enable the
teletext function. You will have to wait for
a while before you press the key to
allow the software download to complete. If
you press the key before the download
is complete, there will be a short delay
before the teletext screen is displayed.
While navigating the digital teletext, there is
a short delay while the page downloads. A
prompt or message is often broadcast on the
page to let you know the progress.
