There is text news in the BBC News app

Should viewers want to read text articles they can press Up again from here [the info/video panel] to see a list of categories. These can be navigated/selected with Up/Down/OK.
When viewers choose a category the carousel will be updated with text content.
When viewers choose an article it will be displayed in the foreground while video continues to play in the background. A smaller info panel on the right shows information about the content shown in the video layer.

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.

There isn't a single 'text' system. Freeview and Freesat use one system, Sky use another, and the V boxes use a different one again. The BBC wrote the services on each of the those systems to
look the same, but they are technically different.
What TiVo couldn't originally do is the whole concept of 'Red Button' but that was introduced last year and updated at the beginning of this, and Sky have been using it for their Sports interactive service for months

I thought teletext was the generic term, is there another one?

teletext was the generic term for analogue text system. The generic term for Digital services has become 'Red Button' but that covers multiple technologies
