Teletext access buttons
Although Teletext is broadcast free of charge, the TV set must
be equipped with a Teletext decoder. Access to Teletext and all
of its functions is available through the TV and the Windows
Media Center remote control.
Although the following information should describe the
operation of Teletext for most TV sets, functions vary between
manufacturers and models. For specific information about
your particular TV model, see the documentation that came
with your TV.
Teletext consists of pages of free information such as news, sports, financial information,
recipes, entertainment listings, holiday advertisements, music and TV reviews, backup
information for certain TV programs, and themes for television sets capable of viewing
these pages. The Teletext buttons are also used for Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting
(ISDB) data functions.
The actual Teletext pages are broadcast in a hidden part of the television signal and
decoded by the television. Teletext pages are accessed by a three-figure number; on most
channels, the front page is on page 100.
The Teletext access buttons listed below open the main Teletext pages. Each Teletext page
has a unique three-digit page number. All pages can be accessed by typing in the number
using the numeric keypad on the remote control.
Use the up and down arrows to navigate through the different Teletext pages.
