Evening, and welcome to CF!

'Interactive' has been discussed a fair bit recently. I think the next generation of TV 'apps' may be better than the woeful underpowered attempts we had before. I mean seriously, across all three platforms they're all just garbage.

Text button is a bit of an anomaly - I think the only time I ever pressed it was to confirm my HD settings. But digital text never got the same love teletext did, and I think for the same reason the early 'interactive' stuff bombed - we've all got the ruddy internet these days, so why not use that?

And Cable North West - where are you from? That was the original franchise in my old home town of Ashton-in-Makerfield!
