ONmail
ONmail was a television-based email service run by ONdigital via their set-top boxes (STBs). It was launched on 7 March 2000 and required the user to purchase a new remote control with a slideout keyboard to type on. It used the built-in 2400 bit/s modem in the set-top box to connect to the ONdigital email centre. The service continued until 22 May 2002, when the phone line stopped accepting incoming calls following the collapse of the then-now rebranded ITV Digital on 3 May 2002.
