Teletext TV Pages banned on internet

Previously I have accessed the TV pages of Teletext on my laptop, but I am now getting a message that I am denied entry. As I can't get these pages on Freeview, and in any case they take ages on tele to change each page, I am v. disappointed.

Anyone know anything about this ban on Teletext pages?

    I'm not sure what you mean by 'denied entry' but try this link for the 'TV' text holiday pages

    Hi all,

    Supersol,

    I think that I know what you mean.

    I also used to be able to view that teletext adverts on my pc, exactly as they appeared on the television, and I could not find them, until now that is.

    Sandlake, how did you find that link? I have searched high and low for ages to be able to view these pages on my pc

    Many thanks

    Leo

    Thanks for two good links. I am now happily watching the TV pages again. The link I have used until now started responding with 'You are not authorized to view this site' message out of the blue, but thanks to you I am connected again.

    Hi all,

    Just to add a bit of detail to this thread,

    I had (until now that is) looked high and low for the teletext tv ads on the teletext website.
    There didn't seem to be a link anywhere on the teletext website to their tv advertisements, or, I missed it.

    Anyway, thanks to sandlake, I can view the pages now.

    Hi all,

    Hi Sandlake

    Well, the simplest solutions always seem to be the best.
    Why I didn't think of that, I have no idea at all.
