Revolving headlines on Digital Text
This week sees the launch of an important iteration to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Digital Text service on Freeview - revolving headlines at the top level. We actually implemented the same update on the Sky platform back in March, but wanted to wait before telling everyone until we had launched it on Freeview - meaning more than 85% of Digital TV users in the UK benefit.
The project really marks another step in our march to (DSO), the government-backed initiative to convert the UK to a digital only TV broadcast infrastructure. DSO will mean the eventual demise of Ceefax for the whole country by 2012, and one of our long term projects is to manage the transition of millions of Ceefax users to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Digital Text service.
