When I turned my TV and Box on this morning (8.45am Sat) I couldn't access any of the footy pages on BBC1 302 then headlines or page 380.

Just kept saying page unavailable. I used the red button

And yet when I swapped to freeview I had no problems.

Anyone else come across this ?

I thought Teletext was almost defunct on DSat now, I didn't know it was still supported. (Apart from 888 subtitles)

I think it's still on the go on Sky News right enough. (Just looked)

If it's the red button services you are referring to, I don't think they are all up and running yet on freesat.

I don't think they are either.

I've just looked and these pages are working currently and I know they have in the past.

Yes i think some BBC MHEG stuff is functional GC but not ITV is that right ?

(I have no red button guff)

Think it was teletext gibbylinks was referring to though, not sure.

As for the BBC a lot of it is working snoods but I know that the index facility under the bue button isn't and the travel news isn't either.

yep ITV don't work at all currently


I think not
302 footy headlines
380 other sport

Thanks GC.

None of the sport pages have been working today on the BBC red button service for me, yet other pages like news, wheather ect all seem to be ok. What area are you in? I am in the south east, not sure if it is region spacific.

ITV has never worked on Feesat since I have had it even though when pressing the info button while watch an ITV program the interactive and text icons are displayed.

I can see a few, but not all topics, via sports multiscreen, but not directly via page 300

All sport pages have been unavailable for me for at least 2 days. I was wondering if they were doing some sort of upgrade to the text service ?

Just in from work and tried the text button on BBC and got no response, Tried the red button, no response, tried changing BBC channels but no joy. I'm on BBC South but none of the other regions seem to be working either. Any help ?

Hi all,

Yes it's the red button I'm referring to. It comes up Ok but I had difficulty accessing pages. Twice this week. Not tried today so don't know.

Yes I'm aware that only BBC had it working.
