I regularly re-tune the TVs to see if there is any change.
I wonder if there is a contact number for Sky so that I can speak to them directly.

Mick: Have you done the EXACT procedure listed, doing "a retune" will not work.

Please see Broadcaster complaints details | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for contact details.

For Sandy Heath:

Due to the technical changes that happen at switchover, viewers of the Sandy Heath transmitter will lose the Sky Text channel 108 until the re-tune event which happens on 23 November 2011.

I assume that Sky Teletext is dictated and then transcribed via Keyboard. some of this is entered "literally"
eg.Mrs X said left quotation marks I am pleased Right Quotation marks. Should show as:
Mrs X said "I am pleased"

Peter Nothard: I expect you are asking about the subtitles?

The subtitles are done for the BBC channels by Red Bee media, and I know they are done by having two people speak what they hear into a computer dictation system.

The outputs are used combined to provide the on-screen subtitles.

Sky presumably use a similar system.
