I Visited my mum's house at the weekend. She has Freeview. The interactive pages look better than my ntl and load about 10 times faster. I was absolutely amazed because I have become used to no longer having an effective teletext service of any kind since getting digital TV (we don't have a roof aerial so no analogue channels).

What has gone wrong with the 'digital revolution'? I thought my ntl digital was meant to be the better platform (original ntl area with lilac graphics). Have I got it wrong? Do I in fact have some inferior interactive service? Or is this as good as it gets?

And anyone want to tell me whether Sky is any better?

/me is disillusioned

PS Does anyone know wht ntl has reserved a channel on Freeview? There's nothing broadcasting on it but it's listed in the STB's channel guide.
