The Teletext TV Navigator is accessed via the Teletext service (Channel 9 on the Freeview platform) by following the appropriate links. (Yellow from the entry screen or from within the blue 'Control' menu anywhere else in the service.)
It features innovative and dynamic functionality which has not been used by any other operators on the platform. All Channels and Radio stations are covered, with 24 hour listings and programme synopses. It is fully regionalised, tracks schedule changes and updates 'In front of your eyes'. Added functionality includes the facility to jump to the chosen channel.

Freeview channel numbers have been used as the basis of a search facility for the listings. Utilizing both the left and right arrows and the numeric keys on the remote control the user can either: a) browse through the entire channel list or b) input a number to instantly download and display the now and next programmes for that particular channel.
Upon selecting a channel, if the user does not enter another channel number or press an arrow key within a couple of seconds, the full listings proceed to download and are displayed underneath. This functionality allows the user to quickly browse the now and next programmes for multiple channels before the main listings load. The day's listings can be scrolled through using the up and down arrows. Also, if an unavailable channel number is entered the TV Navigator informs the user and displays a list of available channels.
