Amazing. Looks like someone made an Aertel one too with live data form the RTE RSS feeds: aertelnua.com/100
Teletext
A living teletext service. Key in a page number.

I miss Aertel, and I miss Ceefax. Aertel was better, though.
I've found myself especially missing it recently, sitting on the couch thinking I'd like a quick read of the news without venturing online.
You can't doomscroll teletext!!

BBC Ceefax launched #OTD 1974, as the world's first teletext service.
Ceefax stood for "see-facts".
BBC engineers Geoff Larkby and Barry Pyatt designed the system. They used "spare" invisible lines at the top of the standard 625-line television signal to transmit blocks of text and numbers.

Miriam O Callaghan. Lobby of Dundrum cinema. She misread the film times on Aertel. I told her then she either misread them or RTE published them wrong.
Her; RTE are never wrong
That was me told

I can accept fax machines. Just. But I still don’t understand how you could open up aertel (Irish teletext) on your TV, call a 1800 number on your landline, and the man control the aertel on the TV to look up train times using the landline.
Dark magic for sure!

We should hand the reins to autistic working-class lads whose brains were cooked decades ago by Aertel and cheap PS1 rentals, I think.
we've seen the damage rich dudes who've cooked their brains online can do to the world, Im submitting a motion that only poors be allowed to post

It boggles the mind to think that we had/could have that, as recently as my teens in rural Cork, and it was the norm.
An hour of internet a week in the library; Aertel; print mags, papers, radio, telly; text messaging and even letters/care packages as a hobby. Not even 20 years ago. #spéirghorm

An astonishing statistic. And the fact that we created a world where that is virtually logistically impossible is a real detriment and very sad.

With Hilco/HMV arrogantly refusing to sell me the Xtravision IP/trademarks, or answer my emails to that effect, I suppose I will now have to privatise Aertel.

Imagine trying to explain Aertel to kids.
Well it was a text information thing on the telly, but if you missed the page you wanted for checking airport arrivals you'd have to sit and wait until it showed up again.
Never mind the talking clock!
I'm so old.

It was a wonder of the pre-internet age. CEEFAX started in 1974.
In Ireland out teletext service was AERTEL. It didn't shutdown until Oct '23! My mum used to still use it to check flight arrival times in preference to the internet.
