Topic: Electra (teletext)


  
  Teletext - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Teletext was first demonstrated in the USA in 1978 by American television network CBS, which decided to try both the British Ceefax and French Antiope software for preliminary tryouts for a teletext service using station KMOX (now KMOV) in St.
Electra ran up until 1993, when it was shut down due to the prominent (and only) American TV manufacturer offering teletext features in their sets, Zenith, discontinuing such sets (more info on this in the next paragraph), a lack of funding, and lagging interest in teletext by the American consumer.
Teletext services in the USA like Electra could be received with one of these sets, but these were mostly more expensive higher-end sets offered by Zenith, posibly causing Electra (and American teletext in general) to never catch on with the public.

 NABTS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NABTS (North American Broadcast Teletext Specification) is a protocol utilized for the encoding of digital data within the VBI (vertical blanking interval) of an analog video signal.
Due to teletext in general not really catching on and being successful in the US, NABTS saw a new use for the datacasting features of WebTV for Windows, under Windows 98, as well as for the now-defunct Intercast system.
However, NABTS is still used for private closed-circuit data delivery over a television broadcast or video signal, and Canadian company Norpak (one of the developers of NABTS) still sells and manufactures encoders and decoders for NABTS.

 Samantha Bond defends Pierce - Casino Royale (Bond 21) Forum - ajb007.co.uk
She tells Teletext: "He's just lost his mum and there might be other priorities right now.
Teletext seems to roll over it's news daily so it's hard to find older articles and this url looks like it's broken.
