Everything's turned grey and white on Sky Text- a lot nicer than previous and a better makeover than Teletext's pink and purple attempt.

Its only on DSat mind; DTT viewers don't get the privilege apparently.

Yes, it looks quite nice. Clean and fresh!

its not bad, but there is no need for a change on DTT, as i presume Sky Text will be leaving along with the other sky channels.

Plans on that have gone quiet though - I don't think Sky got the positive feedback they might have expected - while other issues should lead to OFCOM blocking the plans anyhow, but that's more hope than expectation.


Not quite sure what to make of that new look - I think the black/blue look probably needed updating, but I'm not sure this is better.

A lot of people on DS are moaning about it, and I have to say I'm not the biggest fan, but it does look alright. They've also relaunched Gamestar, but I won't go into that, as I had a long rant about that over at DS.

I wonder when they'll start making these text and interactive services as if they're made for widescreen, rather than 4:3 - as at the moment everything is a bit stretched for widescreen viewers.

Poor colour scheme the text and the background seems to be less clearer now.

Stuart's screenshots make it look good but on my TV it looks terrible, it's hard to read. I prefer the old text service.
