When that changes is down to the BBC
"More" text? We have none at all so I'm not sure where you're coming from there. Secondly you are contradicting an earlier post (I'm not scrolling pages to find it) which blamed the software on the Tivo, which was the best in the world but American, so didn't 'fit' our text system. Now you are handing that back to the BBC, which is physically impossible as they have always had the identical Freetext service as it was introduced with Freeview. As we do not receive the Freeview channels then whatever other goodies came along with them were also absent, and secondly that can't be true as even ITV still have advertising on their teletext service like they did when they dropped the news from the analogue text.

"Teletext really That is a blast from the past."

No, that's Ceefax. What do you call news available on the red button on Sky and Freeview in text form? I thought teletext was the generic term, is there another one?
