Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Teletext. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20130724101651/http://aronsson.se/hist.html to http://aronsson.se/hist.html

MOS:ENGVAR[edit]

Per MOS:CONSISTENCY, with this edit I've just changed a few spellings of "analogue" to "analog". Both were used in the article, but it seems to be consistent with "color" as I am assuming a preference for U.S. spelling.

That being said, the article has perhaps greater "ties" to the U.K. per MOS:TIES, so perhaps these should be changed to use British English. 89.147.70.16 (talk) 09:02, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

UK BBC text news service[edit]

The article includes this sentence:

The BBC maintains a Red Button service on digital TV which includes access to the latest text news; that text news service is accessible on the BBC News Channel and during BBC One newscasts.

But on Freeview the text news service is available on all BBC TV and radio channels (except the Red Button channel) all the time. (I think that sometimes pressing the red button immediately changes the channel to the BBC Red Button channel instead of showing the text page, in which case you need to press the "Text" button instead.)

Uses[edit]

There should be a section explaining the types of content available. --Error (talk) 18:56, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
