Abstract

A TV receiver is adapted to display either the regularly broadcast video signals or videotext information. The video signals contain their own internal synchronization signals. The videotext information requires locally generated synchronization signals which may be used to replace the normal video internal synchronization signals. The invention provides means for switching between the normally broadcast and the internally generated synchronization signals.
