NEXTVIEW

/ Teletext Guide

Today, most broadcasters in Europe, are offering teletext pages containing their programme schedule of today.These pages can be requested by switching the TV to Teletext Guide. An increasing number of broadcasters are offering an extended programme guide service called NEXTVIEW. NEXTVIEW is a new way of presenting programme schedules and offers more features than common teletext. With NEXTVIEW it is possible to show for instance all the movies coming tonight. Both facilities are integrated in this TV: NEXTVIEW and Teletext Programme Guide. If a TV channel supports NEXTVIEW then the TV will automatically present the NEXTVIEW programme schedule. If the TV channel supports just teletext, then the TV will switch automatically to Teletext Guide. Both facilities are offering the same functions: record, remind and info. However in case of Teletext Guide the broadcaster is responsible if these functions are possible. You can search for the programmes you want to watch up to 7 days in advance. It is also possible to search for a programme by theme, e.g. sport, movie, etc. Once a programme has been selected it can be tagged, to remind you, or to record on the video recorder automatically (provided the video recorder is equipped with NEXTVIEWLink Level 20), once, daily, weekly or series. Teletext Guide/NEXTVIEW also allows direct access to detailed information about programmes if provided by the broadcaster. The broadcaster is responsible for the contents of the information. The TV is responsible for the capture of that information and for the presentation to the user.

Tips & Index

Glossary
100 Hz 100 Hertz provides a superior solution to the problem of picture flicker which is particularly noticeable with larger screen sizes. In a conventional TV, the picture area is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz) a frequency which is still detectable by the human eye in the form of a flickering picture. In 100 Hertz sets, the picture area is scanned at a rate of 100 times per second (100 Hertz). At this frequency, the eye cannot detect flicker, resulting in a clearer picture which is more relaxing to the eye.
