The last time I used teletxt was when the VM interactive button stopped displaying the lotto numbers.
When VM bought them back I stopped using teletext.

This is so sad. It was so easy to get a wide range of information from any of the TVs in the house. Now we've got to fire up the computer in the "office", if we have the time.

It's sad to see it go. Don't know about anywhere else, but the Local news for South East London was far more in depth than anything I have found on line..

Well, OFCOM officially terminated Teletext's licence today. Don't know how long the service will last now..
