Abstract
A method for storing pages of a teletext service, with at least one page being received by a storage circuit of a television receiver, is provided. The storage circuit includes a data memory for storing the at least one received page. The method includes extracting a reference number from the at least one received page, checking whether the at least one received page is a requested page, and evaluating contents of the data memory to decide whether the at least one received page is to be stored as a function of free space in the data memory and an importance of the at least one received page. The method also includes storing the at least one received page if it is decided that the at least one received page is to be stored.
