Theres been a few cosmetic changes to Teletext on 4 today.

Firstly, the new version C4 logo is now used - and secondly, all the pages now have a blue background similar to the service on Ch 9.

I had expected the service might be updated to look more like the new look service on ch 9 - but the white straps at the top and bottom seem to connect it more to the new look C4.

The recent updates to Teletext on 4 are nice. I wish that they would remember safe areas though as my TV is rather poor and cuts off the button shortcut text about half way down the text.

The splash screen from the Sky version of the service has not been changed yet.

I don't think the blue background works here - not as nice as the grey colour C4 used to use on most their pages.

One thing about the capture that caught my eye - the in-vision picture. Both our digi boxes reduce it to a 4:3 image - but others reduce it to a 16:9 image with black bars.

Also, on widescreen TV's is the text layout just stretched to 16:9 - or is it centered 4:3 like on the "Just Press Text" promos?
