idk about anyone else, but I’ll kinda miss Teletext? Fond, vague memories of clicking around it back in the day, seemed cool as fuck back then.
I honestly thought they did away with that years ago. Still miss the nostalgia though
How will they subtitle Fair City now?
I remember some bit of homework we’d get most days back in primary school, maybe about 3rd class or later, was to write down some headlines from the news on teletext.
Vague memories of writing down some headlines about Kosovo.

Surprised it’s still going south of the border
teletext was scrapped in the north back in 2012.Remember years ago we had to leave our Tv into get repaired and the only courtesy one they had whilst waiting on the repair didn’t have teletext. It was a very long couple of days waiting on our own Tv coming back.
It was amazing how much you missed not having it.
How do you even receive it? I had no idea it was still on air, or that you could transmit it on DTT
Edit:
Seems it’s carried only on older Sky Digiboxes and there’s a modern interactive service using the same content on Saorview/DTT

My 87 year old mother is obsessed with it.
