Abstract

See full text

A television signal processing device (12) for receiving and processing a television signal (F) and an information signal (I) which contains television program information (FPI) about future television programs. The television signal processing device (12)has television program information determining means (34) by which television program information (FPI) can be determined from the teletext information (TI) of all receivable television signals (F) and can be stored. The television program information determining means (34) are now adapted to autonomously store in a data block address memory (37) at least one teletext page number (TSN) in correlation with television signal identification information (FKI) which identifies the television signal (F) containing the received teletext information (TI). The stored teletext page number (TSN) then identifies a teletext page of the television signal (F) from which television program information (FPI) has been derived successfully the last time. During a subsequent determination of television program information (FPI) from teletext information (TI) of this television signal (F) the teletext page identified by the stored teletext page number (TSN) is first searched for television program information (FPI).
