* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Forced to become a basically normal video game magazine for almost an entire year following [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror September 11th 2001]], which Teletext used as an excuse to cut Digitiser to three pages and remove all of the humour. (Teletext made most of its money through its package holidays service, and not many people wanted to book flights at the time.) A massive fan outcry eventually brought it back, just in time for Teletext to become obsoleted by digital and the internet.

* ExecutiveMeddling / MoralGuardians: Digi would often fall foul of them, not least due to its surreal humour, which would see sub-editors at Teletext cut out whole pages of reviews and demand changes to the most innocuous of headlines.
