The service is moving away from the publishing infrastructure used by Ceefax and news pages are more closely reflecting BBC News online and BBC Local areas. More >
News articles are no longer presented with a quarter screen TV picture - a move which has divided opinions between those who prefer the Ceefax style full screen news and those who liked to keep an eye on what was on TV. Some pages have changed. More >

ReplyDeleteListings for TV channels were discontinued many years ago on Freeview. No need following the introduction of a 7 day EPG which became standard on all receivers (hard to believe that the early Freeview service just had now and next programme information).
ReplyDeleteiPlayer only appears on the BBC Red Button text menu on devices which are connected to the internet and are iPlayer compatible. Freesat SD boxes get as such a different menu as they can't access the iPlayer.
