It provides users with an Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) carrying 14 days of TV listings including programme information. You can access the EPG from any Freeview TV channel by going to your digital remote control and pressing the ‘TV Guide’ button, when using a Teletext Extra-compatible Freeview receiver. A small window on the EPG continues to display video from the channel you were on.

If you press the ‘Text’ button on your digital remote while viewing the EPG, you are taken to a digital Teletext service, with information such as News, Sport, Racing, Travel, Weather, Entertainment and Holidays. This has more content than is available on Teletext’s digital services on ITV and Channel 4 and carries high-res images with top stories.

Teletext Extra has been installed on certain Freeview box models through an ‘over-air download’, but some box makers are installing the service on new boxes that can be bought in the shops. Go to [http://www.teletextextra.co.uk/latestnews.aspx Latest News] on the [http://www.teletextextra.co.uk teletextextra.co.uk] website to check which boxes will allow you to access Teletext Extra.

The service was built by Teletext Ltd. in collaboration with InView, an expert firm providing content delivery mechanisms for digital TV.
