Also, forgot to mention that Teletext Cars on Freeview now has audio describing the service, similar to Teletext Holidays.

Thanks for the caps. Shame they can't have the big E4/More4 logos on the relevant service.

Since the relaunch TTon4 has only been available via TEXT, suggesting the RED button is being saved for possible interactive content, especially Big Brother Live, IF it returns to Freeview now Quizcall occupies it's space.

Also, what Muxes are TT Cars / Holidays on now. I know Hols used to be on Mux A, but don't know about cars. Have they squeezed even more space out of Mux A for the audio streams?


And the reason I came here originally - TV Plus now say there will be further changes to page numbers on Dec 7, but give no details.

I just wish they'd go for one big relaunch rather than changing things in dribs and drabs.


Just to outline what I'd do, streamlining the service so it's essentially the same except for the C4 Programme pages:

110 TV Guide
130 TV Plus
140 ITV: Regional Pages, including News, Sport, Weather and Travel.
140 C4: C4 Programme Pages

180 ITV: Flights
200 Holidays

300 News
325 News in Focus
340 Weather
350 Travel
360 Finance

400 Sport (as now, with General Sport moved to p470)
500 ITV: Premiership / SPL
500 C4: Racing

550 Lifestyle
560 Horoscopes
568/9 Bamboozle / Suduko
570 Ace
580 Connect
590 Dating

600 Entertainment
601-9 Entertainment News
610 Cinema
630 Music
650 On Stage
660 Events
680 Games

700 Teletext Cars

More changes - TV Plus was rejigged a couple of weeks ago to include TV News on p131 and an extra feature on p132. Soaps were moved to p116/7.

Ceefax has cut it's entertainment news section in half in the last couple of days - it now only goes up to p508 instrad of p514.

Teletext Holidays on Freeview has now been revamped to look more like the Sky Teletext Holidays service. Instead of a TV picture in the quarter screen, they have put in an advert.

Also just thought I'd mention that Teletext on ITV has got the new logos on its channels now, I expect everyone knows this already though... Smile

Also now on the Freeview version of BBCi, both the Regional News & Regional Sport sections of the service now have individual pages for each story (similar to the DSAT version, ASFAIK), rather than being grouped together in one section.

To explain it more clearly, by entering the Quick Code (for example, 1650 for News: East), a list of regional headlines for the East region will appear, then just select the one which you want to read about in more detail.

It's also the same procedure for the Regional Sport sections too.

When and why did the TV and radio listings on BBCi get scrapped (page 600)?

They are still there. A while ago they were revamped, with listings now on page 600.

They're not on the DSAT version anymore because people use the current EPG anyway, and feel they're not needed, so they can use the space for other things.
