FLOF (Full Level-One Features) / FASTEXT
FLOF/FASTEXT is an extended teletext service that can be received using a FLOF
teletext decoder. At the present time, it is transmitted by the British broadcaster BBC and
will be introduced in several Western European countries. FLOF/FASTEXT improves
the speed and ease of access to teletext.
The teletext pages are grouped according to subject. The menu line at the bottom of the
screen contains four additional prompts that can be selected using corresponding colored
keys on the TV remote control.
For this the colored keys red, green, yellow, and blue, from left to right, are used. The
white key '
i
' selects the assigned index page.
In some teletext decoders these teletext pages, shown by the prompts, are stored in mem-
ory, so they are immediately available.

VPT (Video Recorder Programming by Teletext)
VPT improves the speed and ease of VCR operation and programming. For this your VCR
must be equipped with a Teletext-VPT decoder. For preprogrammed recording, the VCR
needs the following data, which must be stored in a TIMER block:
•
Date for recording
•
Program number of the transmission
•
Start/stop time for recording
These data can be copied directly to the VCR from the corresponding program survey of
the teletext service.
