Using a digital text service
Most digital TV channels broadcast information via their text service. This digital service
includes high quality text and graphics along with advanced navigation options.
Additionally, this TV has access to dedicated text channels transmitted by the
broadcasting authorities. The appearance, content and navigation methods of all digital
text services are decided by the broadcaster. For example, the BBC’s digital text service
may look different to ITV’s digital text. However, the digital text services currently
available use simple navigation methods based on the following buttons:
The text button 
 to load up the digital text,
The
 V, v, B and b buttons (to move around the screen),
The OK button or the numbered buttons (to select items on screen),
The four coloured buttons (to access shortcuts). 
Selecting a dedicated digital text channel
Selecting a text service from other digital channels
Normal text services may also be available on other digital channels. This is sometimes
