[net.micro.pc] Teletext for the PC?

mcdermot@unmvax.UUCP (John McDermott) (05/15/86)

Sorry if this is a duplicate.  Our news here was recently corrupted...

Are there boards for the PC which decode teletext and display
messages on the pc (or which just suck in data)?  I haven't seen
such an animal, but if anyone knows of one please send me mail.
If I get any answers, I'll summarize.
Thanks,

Yes, we are very interested in teletext boards too. But is this the
same thing in the USA? Presumably there are TV differences. Anyway, if
anyone knows of teletext boards for UK television that work with a PC,
please say.....
