Just thought you lot might like to see this - it's replaced the dull boring ITV Digital stripes backgrounds which have been put up on closed overnight channels such as Granada Plus (it might have also been on UK Style but I didn't check):

Sadly I don't think so James - I can't think of any of the commercial FTA channels on DTT that close overnight. The BBC channels are exactly the same as on DSat - BBC2 shows pages from Ceefax between the end of programming and The Learning Zone, and when they're off air BBC Choice and Knowledge have captions displayed overnight.

That is so cool! Just shows that with a bit of effort testcards can be updated for the 21st century.

Nickelodeon also show a kind of adapted version of TCF just before they close down

Shame it's not on any FTA channel's as Ill be getting an FTA box. On cable during downtime It's either a caption (Or a shopping channel as in some cases!) or a black screen depending on the channel.

The caption is only on channels broadcast by ITV Digital and none of them are FTA

Yep - you can get it from my site at http://www.dvb-t.co.uk/card.html Smile

The card is also shown when UK Style and UK Horizons are off-air.
