Abstract
A video receiver is provided having a screen forecast journal with teletext data, collected from different broadcast stations and continuously updated with text pages at preset time intervals. The data is arranged in tables by programme identification and page identification and stored in memory devices, for accessing at any time. The page identifications are allocated to the programme slots, i.e. one programme identification with a page number each time. The tables can be accessed by page numbers for programmes not being transmitted at that time. A programme identification/page identification table proves beneficial for programming such page identifications. Pages are referenced by moving a cursor to margin areas of a text page. All programmes in the same time period can be paged through. Telecasts to be recorded can be selected from the pages of the forecast journal. Telecast data is transferred on a timer memory device. In this memory device, telecasts are marked (flagged) as soon as they are recorded completely. Either only flagged or only unflagged broadcasts can be displayed. A timer table can show marked (recorded) and/or unmarked (not yet recorded) telecasts, to function as a video library, which can also show the information, regarding which cassette contains the individual telecast previously recorded. In addition to the recording data, and cassette number information, the system is also capable of copying the individual telecast titles from the forecast page, and entering them into the video library, for ease of identification for later replay purposes.
