Troubleshooting (taken from web site):

  • First thing to do is reboot your machine as Dashboard has problems that appear after extended periods of time.
  • If hyper-linking stops working simply press R to refresh the current screen.
  • If the widget does not respond to key presses, click on it.

... it doesn't appear to work. Clicking on the page numbers as suggested in the instructions doesn't do anything.

Brilliant! Installed in a few seconds, worked perfectly first time, extremely useful. Saves ages in patiently waiting for the television to scroll to the Ceefax page you want! Just shows what can be done with Dashboard!
An excellent program - well done all concerned!
