Finding your way around
Pressing the white button, or the one
marked "i" on some Fastext controls,
will bring an index to the screen -
usually the full A-Z index on 199(ITV).
Gobbledegook! Occasionally you ma=
see jumbled-up characters like this
@@$a;a&>÷@@ on your screen.
This is not bad typing on our part;
thj most likely cause is poor reception
- the set may need re-tuning or it1
aerial re-directing, or your local
transmitter is on reduced power.
