277.0. "BBC CEEFAX - what's happening ?" by BLKPUD::WATTERSONP (By eck it's parky) Thu Dec 10 1992 15:58

    
    Is anyone else having problems with the new format of BBC's CEEFAX ?
    
    In the 'good old days', you knew that football would be on 302 and all
    the other stories were usually between 302 and 312, now the BBC have
    moved most of the football onto BBC 2 only - and 302 on BBC 1 is only
    available at weekends.
    
    I demand some of my licence fee back.....

277.1Upgrades - who needs them?BLKPUD::MORANTWeight proportional to heightThu Dec 10 1992 16:5612
    
    There's no footy index on BBC1, which is very annoying as you don't know
    if you've read all of the articles and on 2 its so slow that I can't be
    bothered hanging around for the pages to change (busy person). 
    
    Oracle on the other hand, is quite good (but not as good or detailed as 
    CEEFAX was at its best) but it goes off the air after December 31st.
    The only other teletext sports service that springs to mind is on
    SKYtext, but alas its very poor (copying the best of the CEEFAX/ORACLE
    pages).

Yes, it's a pain. After you sit and watch 302 not appear a couple of times, 
you try 303, and then 304, hoping to find something. Paul, can you apply for 
my share back as well? Thanks,

277.3BBC2 Bad Picture QualityWELCLU::KINGIIan KingMon Feb 22 1993 12:575
    Yes I also agree, as I get a really lousy picture on BBC2 as I'm in
    a rented house at the moment.
