Want to kmow the weather, lottery results, TV channel program for the day and other info? Go to your TV and check the teletext
Wow, I'd somehow never heard of teletext. What country did you use that in?
Not the person you asked, but it was very popular in the UK. You could get news, sport, programme times, recipes, reviews, games, holidays and all sorts. With no on demand TV it was often more interesting than what was currently being broadcast. It was also the basis for displaying subtitles over TV.
