The Teletext service run by ARD alone still had 19 M users 2 years ago [0]. You can even use it in a browser [1]. My father uses it heavily and with split-screen to get up-to-date sports results and news without all the BS he has to deal with on the internet as someone over 60 (notifications, cookie warnings, usability changes every 6 months, fear of accidentally &amp;quot;clicking somewhere dangerous&amp;quot;, ads). I suspect he uses Teletext for the same reasons I visit HN for.&lt;p&gt;Somewhat ironically, his Teletext (his TV signal) has been delivered via Internet for over a decade now.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.rbb-online.de&amp;#x2F;unternehmen&amp;#x2F;der_rbb&amp;#x2F;rbb_in_der_ard&amp;#x2F;ard_text_2019.html#:~:text=Mehr%20als%2019%20Millionen%20Nutzer,die%20besten%20aller%20Sender%20bewertet&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.rbb-online.de&amp;#x2F;unternehmen&amp;#x2F;der_rbb&amp;#x2F;rbb_in_der_ard...&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.ard-text.de&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.ard-text.de&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Teletext on a BBC Computer in 2024</title><url>https://linuxjedi.co.uk/2024/01/25/teletext-on-a-bbc-computer-in-2024/</url></story>

I couldn&amp;#x27;t possibly imagine it being of much use anymore. Similar to how the article started in past tense (before continuing in present tense):&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Before the Internet, if we wanted to read up-to-the-minute news or weather, we had Teletext.&lt;p&gt;I read this article from four days ago (link below, it&amp;#x27;s in Dutch) about how the Dutch broadcasting had recently made a significant investment to upgrade the old system, which was running on a local Windows 2003 machine&amp;#x2F;server, to a cloud-based solution that integrates with their other content-management system(s). It surprised me how many people still use this system. From the article: &amp;quot;the service still reaches a few million people per week through TV screens, and another 800,000 daily users via its app&amp;quot;. (For reference, population of the Netherlands is 18 million.)&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;tweakers.net&amp;#x2F;reviews&amp;#x2F;11700&amp;#x2F;hoe-werkt-het-vernieuwde-teletekst-de-nos-over-het-gloednieuwe-oude-systeem.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;tweakers.net&amp;#x2F;reviews&amp;#x2F;11700&amp;#x2F;hoe-werkt-het-vernieuwde-...&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Teletext on a BBC Computer in 2024</title><url>https://linuxjedi.co.uk/2024/01/25/teletext-on-a-bbc-computer-in-2024/</url></story>
