Bravia KDL-32S3000

Unable to get teletext on BBC2 & BBC News Channel 80, Text is OK on other channels.

Have retuned the set a couple of times

Have tried a different aerial & lead.

Signal strengh is shown as 100%.

Picture is good & text on other channels is correct, with no pixelation.

Text on my other TV is correct.

Thank you Jonathan 223575 for your reply, but I think you are incorrect with your answer, Ceefax ended today.

My other TV still shows text on BBC2 & BBC News channel 80 so I know that they are still broadcasting it.

My Problem is not a new one it's an on going problem over many weeks.

I am setting up a new Bravia KDL32w705cbu. I can select teletext on BBC first thing in the morning with no problem, but it will not offer it again subsequently later in the day - when selected it gives me the "red button" service. Your Helpline operator advised me to call the BBC...........

If its correct that Sony are planning to discontinue supporting TELETEXT,having already stopped supporting SKYPE and making my expensive SONY webcam obsolete then I for one will not buy any other Sony products.

Is that what you want SONY/.

Hi @SteveSharkey Sorry, nobody here cares if you stop buying Sony as this is a user community (not Sony) 😂

Sorry I assumed this was a forum to discuss all Sony issues. I must be wrong it is for sanctimonious idiots to send idiotic responses. If Sony are not bothered to rectify problems they can expect negative feedback.

Sorry I bought SONY . Feel cheated by lack of teletext since I used it every day with my old Panasonic.

Is it possible for SONY to produce a software update ?

In 2019 or thereabouts the BBC announced that it was to discontinue the Red Button text service.

Due to the response by the public and the pandemic the BBC said it would continue the service for

an unknown period.

Unfortunately TV manufacturers and PVR manufacturers had already decided to not include the

decoders/ software necessary to provide the Red Button/ text service on new models, that is why

your new Sony does not have it.

I bought my Sony Bravia TV in early 2019 and it has the text service, but my Humax Aura PVR which

i bought in 2021 does not.

You should have started your own question rather than tagging on to an olde discussion that started in 2012.
