The reason the leftpondians do not have Teletext ist same reason why they are behind in mobile phones and particularly SMS: instead of one standard available everywhere and used by everyone they fragmented the market. Different stations send different stuff in the VBR and TV makers do not decode any of them, leaving this to various different specialised settop boxes that are extra buys and so are not universal. -- Neil Franklin, nei...@franklin.ch.remove http://neil.franklin.ch/ Hacker, Unix Guru, El Eng HTL/BSc, Sysadmin, Archer, Roleplayer - Intellectual Property is Intellectual Robbery
