is FA Cup Interactive on Freeview? I would go and check myself but that would mean going downstiairs.

It's just Mrs Woman on the anno said "digital viewers" and not "digital satilite viewers" "or "if you have sky"

Does anyone know what other interactive things we're getting on DTT now?

Yes, Highlights and Analysis screens.

hmm, I went downstairs to check for myself. It's a canny little service they've got going although the highlights channel has two "Sky" objects on it (press backup and select to switch) which do not apply on Freeview, plus the anal channel seems to be cropped or something, graphics are falling off the top of the screen.

Also I thought MHEG was not capable of dynamic updates which makes the other two bits whch are MHEG screens seem a bit pointless, unless Teletext.co.uk is wrong, afterall the now/next service does it as does the i-bar IIRC.

The MHEG stats screen does seem to be able to refresh, not dynamically though but rather every couple of minutes.
