Surfing the Web
There are several ways in which you can get to a Web site. (This section refers to certain
commands you can select when you use your set-top box's Web browser).
•
If you know the Web site's URL address, you can select 'Go to...' and type in the
URL to display the first page (known as the Home page) of the Web site
immediately.
•
You can select a link at one Web site and follow it to another Web site. Web sites
linked in this way are often on related topics.
•
You can use a search engine. These are special Web sites where you can type in a
word or words and then the search engine scans through the World Wide Web to
find Web sites which contain those words. A list of all the Web sites it finds is then
shown on your TV screen. Depending on how general or specific your chosen
words are, there may be only a few, or hundreds, or even thousands of Web sites
listed, and you can choose to visit those which you feel are the most likely to
contain the information you want.
•
You can retrace your path by selecting 'Previous' (or by pressing the Back button on
your remote control) to take you back to the last Web page you were viewing.
•
You can select 'Home' to take you to the 'Home' page (URL) of your service
provider.
•
When you have found Web sites that interest you and which you know you will
want to visit again, you can select 'Save' and store their page titles as 'Favourites'.
This allows you to go to them quickly on future occasions.
•
You can select 'History' to view a list of recently visited Web pages, so you can
return to a page quickly if required.
