Screenshots anyone? Please!

Teletext C now has a third screen.
The word 'TeLeTeXT' in Yellow with a circle to the left with a blue 'T' in the middle.

GDB3-Freeview · 19-10-2004, 12:04

Perhaps my terminology is at fault.
First there is the 'Loading Data... Please Wait...',
then 'Please wait...'
now, 'TeLeTeXT'.
The same as channel 9 but without the 'press text' message,etc.

thewilks · 19-10-2004, 12:24

Here from Belmont.

Sunset Bitch · 19-10-2004, 12:24

Don't like the new TV guide.

I would post screenshots but I'm recording General Hospital at the moment.

thewilks · 19-10-2004, 12:25

Very, very, very slow on the iplayer though!

Snoods · 19-10-2004, 12:30

Yes new look Teletext is also available on channel 9 here in south west Scotland. (Darvel transmitter) Looks Good!

Andi Gasking · 19-10-2004, 12:34

Funny... I am receiving from Dover, and I have lost Teletext altogether.

Teletext on 4 has changed to Fourtext too....

iDan · 19-10-2004, 12:35

Instantaneous on the Sony VTX-D800U from Emley Moor, however, i also don't like the TV Guide, but i only use the Sony's built in 7 day EPG...

Has the one on Ch 54 changed as well?

I lost Teletext completely yesterday, and gained some old ITV Digital ghost channels, I'm hoping everything will be working again when the new look service arrives on my local transmitter.

paulsalter · 19-10-2004, 12:53

Looks quite good, only had a breif look so far though

Anyone with an on/itv digitsal box confirm if it still works on them

damnitsray · 19-10-2004, 12:56

Workin fine here on Sheffield TX (relay from Em moor!). Just a little slower with pages taking 4-5 secs to load than the usual 2-3. No sports or cinema pics tho but a little more content and page numbers added (racing section has been moves to TT on 4 tho!). Also TT TV Guide is still on 54 in the old layout which is better!

Andi Gasking · 19-10-2004, 13:00

Just worked out whats going on at my local TX, and this will probably be the case elsehwere.

I used one of my older boxes, which i had not reutned in a while, the one in my guest bedroom... Flipped over to Ch 9 and received the old service. Now that means that the LCN for Teletext is currently flagged as hidden... I bet that if any of you guys retune your boxes, you may lose Ch 9. but the service is still active. I think that TText have temporarily hidden the LCN for Ch9 whilst they implement their 'new' service.

Just a theory mind you, but it sounds very possible.

I last did a retune on Sunday AM on returning from da club to see a nee DVB service had been found and retuned and got itv3 (mheg) on ch 34! I acesses the new service on ch9 TT at just gone 11.00am this morn and again just an hour ago!

Andi Gasking · 19-10-2004, 13:18

well thats definately whats going on at Dover TX's, both A and B (B is a relay for mux 2 and B, being unreachable in some places).

Anybody else on Dover's two TX's, retune your boxes, and let me know the outcome.

andproweb · 19-10-2004, 13:38

From pontop pike im still getting the old Teletext and Teletext C and even ITV3 have disappeared after a rescan on my Goodmans GDB3

So is The TV Guide and TT Hols getting a revamp too and whats happening to TeleTexT C now?

Skeeter · 19-10-2004, 15:01

I just checked 801 and teletext showed a new screen so i tryed channel 9 and now the new look teletext has arrived to ponton pike transmitter (northeast area)

Also can the original poster please alter the title of this topic and remove Winter Hill off please and make it for everyone instead of just winterhill. Cheers.

Yoo Play is on ch53.

At the moment, all I'm getting is the useral Please Wait (in blue, top left) followed by a screen saying press text to enter and that if you don't want Teletext then use you number buttons to change channel (which is odd). Pressing text only gives me a blue screen with please wait in the corner, absolutly nother else is happening!

On Ttext C, I'm now getting a blue Please wait in stead of a green one.

And can someone please post some screenshots?!
