    When watching BBC1 or BBC2 on Freeview press the red button on your remote and you will get Ceefax

    Teletext is on Freeview. Teletext on analogue has stopped. Ceefax (BBC) on analogue continues. You'll find that if you press the red button, or text, whilst watching Channel 4, I think you'll get the new teletext. For the BBC, some of the old Ceefax numbers correspond well. eg if I press 360 and OK I'll get the motorsport page. I haven't looked at Teletext's version so much.
