Is text still on BBC Knowledge?

If so what is the "Colour Code Key Press Sequence" to activate it?
I have forgotten.

No, don't press TEXT at all. Just wait until the green bar disappears,
and then do the colour sequence (I think the above is right, in any case
if you number the buttons its 1,3,2,4 from left to right). I think if
you choose go to tv (red button in knowledge text) and then choose text,
it will bring you back. Knowledge text is incredibly fast, for what it
is.

What about the Wimbledon test thing - is it still working - if so, how
is it activated.

No, don't press TEXT at all. The end.

Use the analogue variety instead :)

I have the Philips box and it works without having to press the TEXT key
first.

I have a Panasonic Box and I can't get this to work at all.

When I press the key sequence red, yellow, green, blue (either with or
without pressing text first), all I end up with is the favourites box shown
on screen.

Is there something I've missed?

Hi there,

What's you've missed is that everyone is talking about a 'text' style
service being transmitted on the Ondigital version of BBC Knowledge. AS
you have a Panasonic box I guess you must be a Sky Digital subscriber. I
don't think they have this service yet - but as I don't know much about
Sky digital I'm afraid I can't be any further help.

Regards

Gideon J-D

Cheers, thanks Gideon.

I knew it had to be something stupid, I didn't realise this was for OnD
only.

Thanks again.
