Teletext on ITV

I couldn't find another thread about this - apologies if there is one.

I pressed the teletext button on ITV1 today (on Freeview) and there's a holding page promoting the new Teletext on ITV service which starts in the summer.

Theres also info on the analogue service on p104 about some changes and the introduction of Teletext on ITV.

And although the DTT service hasn't launched yet, Teletext Cars is now on C4 p700.

Along with BLUE for TT Holidays, press YELLOW for Teletext on 9 and GREEN for Teletext cars.

Just thought I would provide a clearer screen cap...

Do I spy yet another variation on the ITV logo? Normally when it's just 'ITV' rather than ITV1, etc., it's the 'joined up' version, not split into blocks.

Another one to add to the list then.

The joined up itv logo is used now purely for corporate purposes.
On-screen, it is always shown as blocks, on itv1, 2 and 3.

What is unclear is whether this Teletext service will appear on 1, 2 and 3 or just 1 - in which case you should wonder why the itv1 logo wasn't used.

Who knows?!

May I be contentious and say that your capture isn't really all that much clearer than the first capture. Just done in a technically more 'pure' way, that's all.

I've captured both with a capture card and by taking digital photos off-screen, and to be honest the off-screen photos in some cases look better. For the purposes of illustration, the first capture did its job more than adequately, and the text is more readable.

In fact, whilst I was still waiting to set up my video capturing (I moved recently) I took some off-screen photos of the Doctor Who episode the other night and most of them are actually good enough to use as desktop wallpaper without any noticeable quality loss.

I can't get this yet from the Winter Hill transmitter, though I'm not sure if that's due to the ITV News re-engineering. Anyways, from "A.N. Other Televisual Forum", the holding screen is currently available on all ITV channels, including ITV News, indicating that it will be on all of them at launch. As a curiosity though, does it have it's own EPG number like Teletext on 4? If not, why does Teletext on 4 need one?

The original press release said that it will be available on all ITV channels, 1, 2 (which already have some service via ITVi on Sky), 3 and ITV News. And then I presume they will extend it to ITV4, if and when that launches.
