BBC unveils "Ceefax for the 21st Century"
30 May, 08:31 | satellite
An updated version of BBCi will launch on digital satellite in June, with DTT and DCAB launches following.
 
The thing i want to no is how my Nokia 9850t will cope with the new system and all the new graphics...i wonder if the BBC will upgrade those boxes...also i heard that 701 and 702 will be turned in to 8 1/4 screens with reduced picture quality :/
 
There is a MHEG update that could enable this,if it isn't possible now already,which I think it is.
 
I hope they replace the On Digital Menus..Canal+ should just release them if not the BBC should replace them with thier own brand. This MHEG update must take place...i cant get Free2Play to work! or Teletext.
 
Have you checked out the DigitalSpy Forums?
 
Yes and i allready no they wont update the ex itv boxes. If i cant get all the channels working like freeview.co.uk says then i am nt very happy. I was thinking of paying for an online download which would cost a lot of money...but might be worth it.
