Problems with Text on Freesat+
Hi all, 1st time poster. I have joined because I have just got a Humax Foxsat+ box and a dish and joined the sateelite revolution at last.
I thought being a member here would keep me in the know for any new updates etc. The system was installed on Monday and all seemed fine, but since Monday I have only been able to get any text / teletext on BBC channels. ITV/C4 etc don't seem to be working, yet I am sure I had it working on the 1st day. Does anyone know what the problem might be? |

On some channels you can access a reduced old style teletext service by pressing the Subtitle key on the remote and selecting 'Teletext' - eg. BBC2
Generally speaking the red button services are much better however. |

Text service is alos poor compared to terrestrial in my opinion.
On analogue tv you get eg a nice list of news pages on the index and full screen text. In Freesat, you get a small text box to one side which has scroll bars for both stories and index. Functionality is cr*p! |
