Is Telex down right now?
Stories are landing, the live blog moves and pages open clean, so the Telex status reads healthy today. Telex down reports on this page come from readers at home and abroad, and a genuine portal fault would show in them straight away.
Election nights and court verdict days pull record crowds to telex.hu. A page that loads slowly in such a rush can be a busy server, not a broken one.
Is Telex down for me or everyone?
Try telex.hu in a private browser window or on mobile data. A working front page there means your usual setup holds the fault. If every route fails and reports below climb, a Telex outage at the newsroom servers is the likely cause.
How does the Telex app handle saved stories and podcasts?
The app lets you save any article to a personal list for quiet reading later. Saved stories sit in their own tab, away from the fast front page flow.
Podcasts play inside the app as well, so an interview or a daily briefing runs without a second player. Playback keeps its place when you pause and return.
Where does Telex English live?
The English section sits inside the same site, with its own front page of translated top stories. Readers abroad follow Hungarian politics and society there without touching the Hungarian pages. The section also gathers explainers on Hungarian terms and institutions for foreign readers.
What kind of coverage fills the Telex front page?
Politics and public life lead, with economy, culture, tech and sport under the top stories. Long-form pieces and explainers run beside the fast news, and live blogs open when a story runs all day.
How do reader payments keep Telex running?
Telex funds its newsroom from reader support rather than a paywall, so articles stay open to everyone. The support page takes one-off and regular contributions from readers who want the reporting to stay free for all. Supporters often say they pay so that others can read for free.
Common Telex Problems and Fixes
Most Telex trouble comes from the app holding old data or a live page that stopped pulling updates. The fixes below cover the site, the saved list and podcast playback.
Pull the front page down to refresh in the app
The app feed can sit on a cached line-up after hours away. Open Telex, drag the front page down until the spinner runs, then release. New stories load at the top of the feed.
Reopen a stalled Telex live blog
Live pages pull updates in the background, and a network blip can cut that thread. Leave the live blog, open it again from the front page, and fresh lines appear at the top.
Free space when podcasts will not download
Podcast episodes need room on the phone before they save. Delete a few old downloads or large unused files, then start the episode again. Playback from the stream works even while space stays tight.
Sign in again to restore your saved list
The saved list ties to your account session, and an expired one can show an empty list. Open the account page in the app, sign in with your usual address, and your saved stories return.
Update the Telex app after a layout change
The newsroom ships design changes that old builds render badly. Install the newest Telex version from your app store, then open the same page again. Broken menus and blank blocks usually clear at this step.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I save a Telex article for later?
Tap the bookmark mark on the article, in the app or on the site while signed in. The story waits in your saved tab until you remove it.
What is Telex English?
It is the English-language section of telex.hu, carrying the main Hungarian stories in translation. Readers abroad use it to follow politics, economy and culture from Budapest.
Can I listen to Telex podcasts in the app?
Yes, podcasts play inside the Telex app, with pause and resume kept between sessions. You can also stream episodes from the podcast pages on the site. Episode pages also list older shows in a long back catalogue.
Does Telex sit behind a paywall?
No, articles on telex.hu stay open to every reader. The newsroom runs on voluntary reader support, so reading never asks for a subscription first.
Why did my saved Telex list come up empty?
The list follows your account, and a signed-out app shows nothing saved. Sign in with the address you used before, and the stories come back.
Where can I support Telex as a reader?
The support page on telex.hu takes one-off and regular contributions by card. Supporters keep the reporting free for readers who cannot pay.
