Dear Free TV
I can't get a definitive answer about the present text that provide TV today and tomorrow programme details [like Ceefax's 60x and 63x and Teletext 1xx, as to the fate of these when we're all digital. BBC Red Button stopped doing this service some time ago, and Ch 4's 104 has gone.
Any ideas, please?

Norma J Grundy: details have been replaced on boxes with the 'info plate'. Press 'i' on the remote to show the info plate. That shows information about the current programme. You can get more information by pressing 'i' again. To close it, press 'i' again.

When the plate is up, press the right arrow key to show the details for the next programme. Press left arrow to go back to the info for the current programme.

You can get a more detailed guide of upcoming programme information by pressing GUIDE on the remote. That shows the full Electronic Programme Guide, or EPG, for the next 8 days. Again, you can 'scroll', usually by pressing right arrow to show later programmes and left to show earlier ones, and up and down to show programmes on other . Press 'i' to show the info plate for the highlighted programme.

Because the Now & Next information and EPG are built into every Freeview TV and box, the Ceefax and Teletext data is redundant, so there is no equivalent on BBC Red Button or Teletext.

All text on TV end at . The old text button will not do anything any more.
