4.1.4 Installing Philips TeleText
Teletext consists of pages of information, such as news and sport, which are
viewed on a television set capable of viewing these pages. Its roots lie in the
70s, when the BBC and Oracle started the first test services. The actual
teletext pages are broadcast in a hidden part of the television signal (the
Vertical Blanking Interval), and decoded by the television. Teletext pages are
accessed by a 3-figure number; on most channels, the front page is on page
100. Except news and sport, teletext contains financial information, such as
the latest share prices, recipes, entertainment listings, holiday adverts,
cinema, music and TV reviews, back-up information for certain TV
programmes, and themed magazines, e.g. for kids. Teletext also broadcasts
subtitles (better known in the United States as 'closed captions') on certain
programmes, and news flashes which are overlaid on top of the TV picture.
