The amount of time I spent trying to get this shit to work in the late 80's... Our TV hated it.

@martbd It might, but not at the television, where you can watch TV stations and check the Teletext pages. Remember, that elderly and those who do not like computers may not wish to use the internet, Teletext perhaps provided some sections of the community with all that they require.

@MicMogul Doesn't the web provide more than Teletext ever did?

RIP Austext on 30/9 - no more 100 index page to greet us. When Xmas Day come around each year, all pages had a simple message Merry Christmas from Austext..No Updates for Today. The reconfiguration of Austext (2 years ago) brought about the closure of the BTQ operation then with the service automated out of ATN Sydney from a direct feed from Yahoo7 and the weather bureau. The Austext girls in Brisbane are no more gone, no more greeting pages, on this day in history, TAB, jokes etc.

I do not understand the decision. Look at TVNZ Teletext Service, a great model which Austext/SevenTel/SevenText once was. Oh the rural pages, the kids pages, lightning tracker, finance share quotes, world clock and the Australian Airlines & BCC cinema feeds, the special services of a direct feed from Bathurst 1000 and the seat-by-seat results from the Australian Electoral Commission. All part of history!!!! RIP Austext

Austext shuts down on September 30...
It will be a end of a era...

I agree but am sure the economic rationalists at TV stations will now say the internet supersedes this.
Take up of the service wasn't too high either (I still don't have a teletext TV).
AM stereo for TV?

Sad day when the comprehensive Capital 7 service closed down following aggregation. The multicoloured ornate text pages were memorable especially ACTTAB, weather and what'son....
Because of their affiliation with the Seven Network (and BTQ7's Austext service), Prime took over text transmission (of the standard Austext service) in 1989. Austext today is only a shade of its former being.

It would be nice if they brought austext back to it former glory, but with the internet they most likely not.
Thank for your comment.
