Encyclopedia > Programme Delivery Control
  • This article is about PDC/StarText teletext programme listings. For other meanings see: Startext (disambiguation).

Programme Delivery Control is a standard (ETS 300 231) to control video recorders using hidden codes in the teletext service. The PDC data indicates to the recorder when a show or program starts.


PDC is often used together with StarText, enabling the user to select a programme to record using specially coded teletext programme listings. The combination of features is often called PDC/StarText.


In Germany and some other European countries, the older standard VPS (Video Programming System) is in use. Effectively, the two systems do the same thing and most modern VCRs and stand-alone DVD-recorders work with both signals.
