I will miss ceefax

[Lil O'lady]

Mine's being switched off tomorrow, I think. I really fell in love with ceefax when I read on ceefax of my former boss being arrested for fraud, in 1987. That stuff they put on Sky is pants in comparison, too slow and without the spelling mistakes.
Will anyone else miss ceefax?

Is it all teletext that's being turned off or will subtitles be staying until digital changeover?

yes, I used to love ceefax, when my tv aerial was playing up it used to screw up the text on the page the title then often came up as "ceefux" which was funny

[cazzz1975]

they used to have a raft of news,weather and sport on page 198 that they used to play in the mornings on bbc2 with soothing music before the programmes began

Ah Peacock, if we could but touch the hem of your cloak......

Not well known but text on ITV and C4 digital ends this month too. Apparently it all now costs too much. Digital subtitles are not affected
