What is Teletext?

Teletext broadcasts pages of information and entertainment to
specially equipped television sets. Your plasma display receives
Teletext signals broadcast by TV networks, and decodes them into
graphical format for viewing. News, weather and sports
information, stock exchange prices and programme previews are
among many services available.
Important
• Displaying Teletext pages for a long period of time, or for
shorter periods of time everyday, may result in image retention.
