Teletext is unique since it contains national and regional pages. On a typical day, there are: ■ 3,000 "frames" of information held at 26 transmitter sites around the UK ■ around 50,000 updates. This makes us the biggest teletext operation in the world. And since we're free the best value for money going! ——————————————————————————————————1/8—— A-Z index News headlines Sport TV Plus

Occasionally you may see jumbled-up characters like this @@$a;a&>÷@@ on your screen. This is not bad typing on our part; the most likely cause is poor reception - the set may need re-tuning or its aerial re-directing, or your local transmitter is on reduced power. ——————————————————————————————————5/8—— A-Z index News headlines Sport TV Plus
