Default Does "Teletext" still exist?

As per title. I used to like it, but once we went cable, stopped using it.

Sport pages were brilliant..
THE most exciting way to watch football. It updates every 30 seconds, and SOMETIMES the score changes. You can never tell if it's going to change or not, really tense, it is.

There is 2 systems, digital and analogue.

ITV, CH4 & Ch5s teletext services shut down a wile ago. Dont even think they have digital any more. Blamed the internet for it not being needed any more.

BBC still have services on analogue & digital, but I think their analogue system will be closing soon.

A very limited Teletext service remains on ITV in the form of selling holidays. All the other stuff went pop at the start of the year IIRC.
