From the end of the year, the GuidePlus+ system will no longer provide information to set-top boxes via the ITV1 teletext system.

If you have any of the devices listed below, you may no longer have the electronic programme guide functions.

If you use an ANALOGUE GuidePlus+ device and have access to British Eurosport on Sky's satellite subscription system, or bid tv on Freeview (multiplex A/SDN/COM4 - not public-service-only transmitters), you may be able to continue to use the service, but not all models are compatible.

I came here because my Panasonic TV stopped showing the adverts recently.
The EPG still works, though half the screen says Viera instead of those "really useful information sources".
Any idea what is going on.

David: I would have thought that doing a "factory reset" on the TV might be the best place to start.

I have a Philips DVDR 5520H/05 and Guide Plus no longer works. How do I get Freeview EPG?

Bob Cutler: As Brian said above, try a full reset/retune (make a note of any programmes you want recorded, because it will wipe the list).

My Sony also came with Guide Plus, but when I first set it up, it went straight to the normal EPG, and I never even saw Guide Plus, fortunately.

EPG. Why are channel plus 1 guides left partially or totally blank.? Surely it is practical to copy program details into these guides. When searching guide it is not easy to go back pages to see what's on original channel 1 hour before.
Please be practical for us "older" folk

John King: Some of the +1 channels are only broadcast part time for a few hours overnight on Freeview (in order to reserve their channel number). Therefore, these channels only have listings for the hours that they are broadcasting.
