After being on our TV screens for 38 years. Tonight marks the last night ever of Ceefax. With the digital switchover concluding tonight in Northern Ireland, the last analogue signal carrying the Ceefax service will be switched off at 11:30pm, bringing the BBC’s original teletext service to a close, 38 years after its launch.
Something very sad about Ceefax closing down. When I was younger, way before the Internet and 24/7 News channels. Other than newspapers, it was the only way to be kept updated with UK and World News, Weather and Sports news.

Oh here is some more good news for people in the UK with DAB digital radio. The BBC will have an extra DAB service called BBC Radio 5 live Olympics Extra during the games.
So glad I have Freesat+ HD, means I will have 24 extra free HD channels, for the Olympics. The only down side, I can only record two channels at once. So making up my mind what to record is going to be hard work!!
