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 thisTV:NEXTVIEW andTeletext Programme
Guide. If aTV channel supports NEXTVIEW then theTV will automatically
present the NEXTVIEW programme schedule. If theTV channel supports just
teletext,then theTV will switch automatically toTeletext Guide.
Both facilities are offering the same functions: record,remind and info.
However in case ofTeletext 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 2.0), 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.
TheTV is responsible for the capture of that information and for the presentation to
the user.
