A television receiver for receiving data, such as teletext, multiplexed with the television signal, includes a data acquisition circuit (6) for acquiring at least selected pages of the data signal and a memory (13) for storing a plurality of pages. A non-volatile memory (11) holds a Favorite Pages List for the user for each of a plurality of channels, and a microprocessor (7) causes the receiver to tune to each channel, in turn, to acquire and store in the memory (13) the favorite pages for all of the channels. The microprocessor (7) causes the receiver to tune to each of the channels in turn on switch-on and acquires the favorite pages for that channel. The receiver is tuned to each channel, in turn, for a period long enough to acquire the favorite pages either by allowing a set time or by monitoring the receipt of the favorite pages. Alternatively, a second tuner is used to scan the non-viewed channels. |
