Austext is the Australian teletext service based in Brisbane, Queensland. The production is carried and operated by the Seven Network and it's affiliates over most of Australia. It carries news, finance information, weather, lottery results, a TV guide and other information. The service is viewable on any television, computer or other device with teletext functionality and the ability to access and view Channel Seven, Prime or Southern Cross.
The Austext service has recently been upgraded by the Seven Network. Using the newer technology, it will improve the service's functionality and make the ability to view and use it easier.[citation needed]
Subtitles for programs on the Seven Network's channels are also included in the Austext system. When produced by the Australian Caption Centre, they can be referred to as Supertext , those provided by other providers are often known as "Closed Captions". To access the subtitles system through Austext, you must use the navigation code number 801 on an analogue T.V. or by pressing the Text, CC or coloured button (this depends on make and model) on your set top box or digital T.V.
