Which pages on Ceefax/Teletext did you used to visit the most?

[jawillwill]

Page 303 was the football results I think. But I particuarly used to like the over-pixilated weather forecast map page.

390 Regional Sport, 341 Test Match scorecard

102 (UK headlines), 160 (local headlines), 302 (football), 390 (local sport)... can't even remember what the teletext equivalent numbers were...

[Gigersaint]

Bloodyhell, since getting the Internet for the first time in 1996 I couldn't even remember the last time I used teletext for football scores let alone the page number it was on!
The only thing I can remember is during away games in late 80's, early 90's when I would sometimes be in Southampton with the Mrs and i'd often stop outside the TV rentals shop between BHS and McDonalds to stand and wait in their shop window to watch the pages flick over until the latest Saints score would appear. This would usually involve several visits to keep check on the scores and pretty much the only times I'd use the teletext service, think Dixons on the corner used to do the same and always have teletext on football scores for the displays in store, so could always keep track of scores when out in town away from the radio for Away games.

302, then the weather, then TV.

Used it a few months ago in a hotel which had not switched to digital.

[angelman]

341, 316, 336 (I think that was the videprinter one)

[Ric]

101 & 102 for the main news headlines. 160 for the local news.
302 for the football, and 390 for the local sport (which usually led on to 391 for anything Saints-related, being the top club in the region).
360 for everything F1.
I'd also occasionally check the lottery draw, which was page 555, I believe.

All on Ceefax, naturally. ITV's Teletext service was - as usual - the poor relation to what the BBC had to offer. Didn't Channel 4 have 4Tel, or am I confusing that with something else? Never looked at it.

Believe it or not there used to be a "soap opera" on teletext! Want to say it was page 126 or something like that but could be totally making it up. It was excellent in its awefulness!

[Sergei Gotsmanov]

303 on saturdays

[tpbury]

The quiz pages were quite fun back then (should I say 'back in the day'- should I frick!). Press 'Reveal'

You beat me to it, this is what I was thinking as I was reading through.

Wasn't it Gary Lineker who once said that the best way to watch (the old)Wimbledon was on teletext?!

I remember I used to have an application on my PalmPilot for changing TV channels - used to use that to great effect on weekends when being dragged out shopping to check the footy scores in the windows of various highstreet shops.

319 was the in-vision football vidi-printer, I believe

Ha, it used to work for Saints ..... Just sat there (Home team goalscorers written in pink , away in blue - If i rememember correctly)

[trousers]

Switched off yesterday......RIP

Ah...the good old days....

Definitely Bamboozle. Quite quickly you could work out the page code, so that if you entered the wrong answer, you could correct it before Teletext had found the "bad luck" page. Cheating, but then I cheat at most things. God love the Saturday edition for kids. I was good at that!

I hadn't used either for years, since my first freeview box in the mid noughties, but it was useful for Football updates. I did use it once fairly recently, at my parents' house while Swansea were beating Reading in the play-off final. I couldn't quite believe the number of goals that were flying in.

It'll be missed, but of course technology moves on. I'm surprised it lasted this long.

[hypochondriac]

Years ago 124 I believe was the Premiership table.

[stevegrant]

Ah...the good old days....

I won £140 on that game, Rochdale were a frankly mental 7/1 to beat us

[Katalinic]

The "update" button was good as long as there was only one page of latest scores - the feeling hope when the page number appeared in the top corner and sheer angst and depression when you pressed the text button to see that David Leworthy had put Oxford 2-0 up against us.

[JPTCount]

120/606 - now and next

301-320 - football

[Jimmy_D]

Anyone else remember the Advent Calender they used to put on there?
