New Oneword MHEG can freeze old boxes
The new MHEG on oneword can freeze a Pace Ondigital box, but it's only if you let the MHEG load, then use INFO and then let the MHEG reload. A small annoyance.
My other little gripe is the use of a white background.
Otherwise, I'm quite interested in the new developments that channel 4 have introduced to the station.

I stay clear of the ITV4 MHEG for the same reason.
I wrote to ITV about the problem ages ago and even gave them a DS link on the problem. Is it fixed? No way!
As is per usual nowadays, the broadcaster is never wrong and the viewer is just an inconvenience.
It would be interesting to know the size of the graphic files on various screens, can anyone supply that information???
Is it me, or is there a pattern developing?
I doubt it. It's a PNG as are most/all MHEG graphics, 500x133px.
I used a Nebula to dump the MHEG so this may be Nebula's doing, but after its translation into HTML it has:
If this is the MHEG itself having an error that's translated into the background-color:# at the start then that could be a possibility.
Whilst I must say the broadcasters should try and fix these things, it's known that poor documentation of MHEG has meant that boxes and broadcasters aren't always entirely sure about how to do things - something the latest MHEG proifile set about fixing IIRC.
and does it just turn off multiscreen stuff or text services or everything?
It only allows off english welsh gaelic
I set gaelic and yes
there's a strange dialect of gaelic subtitles on screen which could easily be mistaken for english.......
ITV Digital Pioneer (can also press guide to kill MHEG)
Daewoo Setpal (also has a disable MHEG option)
Pace Twin (can also pause then play)
Philips IDTV
not tried it on the Goodmans DVD Recorder yet though.
Ah, the gold ol "it the language you want ain't there fall back on the default trick". Although ISTR that the Welsh subtitles are in English to save Welsh language readers from having to switch languages all the time.
It does disable all MHEG, however pressing "Text" enables it until I change channel.
ISTR one manufacturer has a feature where MHEG is disabled until you press red.
I just pressed text with these gaelic subtitles (not welsh) and it said
I only pressed text! That's not an interactive service - it's text!!!
I dunno:)
