Look up Teletext information 8 Teletext is an information system in video form used by most broadcasters to transmit news, weather forecasts and other information of general interest. If you select a channel and the broadcaster offers a Teletext service, BeoVision Avant gives you access to Teletext pages. Sometimes a single page will consist of several subpages, which appear one by one in a repeating series.
Get access to your favourite Teletext pages When you switch on Teletext, BeoVision Avant provides instant access to any page you wish to see, any subpages linked to that page, and also four memory pages for storage of your most frequently viewed Teletext pages. This means that you can get e.g. the latest news headlines, stock trends, sports results or weather forecasts quickly and easily.

Record a programme 12 With the Video Programming via Teletext (VPT) function in the video tape recorder, you can use Teletext TV listings when you preset Avant for recording of future programmes. You can also preset a Timer recording manually.

Record here and now The list of scheduled recordings If you want to record the current programme or a programme about to begin, you can start recording immediately. You can also watch another TV programme or switch Avant to standby while recording. The Timer index list of pending recordings allows you to check whether or not recordings conflict with each other.
