Mistigram: #Goomba / #Kuribo wants everyone to know that #Mar10 is overrated as a holiday. (Perhaps instead consider National Mushroom Day, on Oct 15?) This #teletext screen was drawn by @horsenburger.bsky.social and included in the MIST0919 artpack collection released seven years ago!

Incidentally - the entire NMS Ceefax recreation has been going for over 10 years now. Yeah. Seriously.

A photo of an old analogue CRT television, showing a 1990s BBC 2 ident. Alongside are 4 TV channel generators, one for each of BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV Central, and Channel 4.
We may have the only analogue CRT television still receiving four channels 😅
Each channel has Teletext of course...
BBC 1 ➡️ Ceefax East Midlands
BBC 2 ➡️ Ceefax World Service
Central ➡️ Spark
C4 ➡️ Chunkytext

🟩 TELETEXT | On This Day 1990 | ORACLE asks for the public's help to save its ITV and C4 service from closure. Commercial teletext wasn't catered for in the new Broadcasting Bill.
Some disparaging remarks about Ceefax!

Teletext displayed 24 rows of 40 characters to show news, weather, subtitles, and sports results and more.
A TV in front of a window with exposed brick around it. On the tv is an old school teletext display, showing beer checkins through Untappd
I'm feeling incredibly pigeonholed here.
Teletext feed of Untappd checkins and tap list.
They know their audience...
Happy St David's Day!

They had it for a bit, locally, but it never got national backing. I blame Max Headroom
Press Green?
Last few hours and it's gone! Get it while it's lukewarm!

There's two!
Teletext/ceefax may have done something useful if you were an adult but as a kid it was profoundly useless.
I get my news from a reliable source
teletext page 744 on DR is a test page in Swedish that displays one of each character, a simple graphic, a “clock cracker” made out of two lines with alternating blocks and ü characters, samples of coloured text, and blinking and double-height text
the second test page has “the quick brown fox jumps over lazy dogs” repeated across the entire screen, with a diagonal line of “01” cutting through it
the third test page is a full-screen “clock cracker” with alternating columns of solid block characters and ü characters
the fourth subpage is a “konvergenstest” showing a grid of meshed horizontal and vertical lines
No trip to mainland Europe is complete without taking a look at Teletext. I found this set of test pages on DR1
(Subpages 5-7 were just a blank page with red, green and blue backgrounds respectively)
Looking forward to the xenograd block party!
