Ceefax In Vision to close this Sun/Mon.

With Belfast due to complete the UK DSO programme on 24 October 2012, this, unfortunately, means that the Ceefax In Vision service will close this weekend.

Sunday 22 October 2012 from 4.45am to 6am will be the last transmission.

It's ironic that, what was the first taste of teletext for many, has been the only way for most people to watch Ceefax for some time now.

This was the first data screen in most homes, but has now been surpassed by the internet, smart 'phones etc.

Farewell, you have served us well!
