I think itâ₠¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s something to do with the top few lines on a terrestrial TV that transmits the Teletext data is now used to give a wide screen digital picture ??? UK Gold does not transmit in 1:9


The good thing about CF is we can all help each other.
Teletext is not carried on the Digital Platform for any of the terrestrial channels this is not an NTL decision it is down to the channel provider.

Some channels do carry a basic text service but again this is down to the channel provider.

While we are on the subject of teletext, the 'Teletext' service on Interactive will no longer be available soon, this is down to Teletext themselves withdrawing the content this is happening on Sky, NTL and Telewest Interactive services and is entirely Teletexts decision.
