I'm glad to see upcoming events on the forum here which says both teletext and another lost service are coming this year, but if Virgin genuinely doesn't have a compatible system with teletext I do wonder how they know it's even possible to resolve let alone when. I've also discovered text cropping up on more Freeview channels, albeit not news, and I've pretty much lost track of what's going on in the world now (not such a bad thing) as I'd relied on teletext for decades and don't waste money on newspapers which only have a few things worth reading in hundreds. Nowadays people say 'Do you know about...' and I have no idea, it's like being on permanent holiday abroad.

Do we think they'll really get it this year or was that said just to stop people leaving?
