Another non-standard EPG dies: GuidePlus+ withdrawn from ITV1.

The GuidePlus+ system joins InView in being withdrawn - leaving some Bang and Olufsen, Philips, Pioneer, Panasonic, Sharp and Sony equipment without an electronic programme guide.

^{Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV 3rd December 2010 at 17:24}

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.
