Subject: Teletext is gone. Nearly.

It is a shame it has to end before analogue is totally switched off :( , 
I tweeted about it a while ago.

I don't know if it just my region but for the past two or three days 
most of the pages are a bit mixed up in that it inserts lines from 
unrelated pages apparently at random, including the main index.
