BBC continuity in the 80s would always put this on sooner or later. I was amazed to discover it wasn't library music but I guess the BBC's block licensing agreement lets them do stuff like this.
SOUL.
I remember going on holidays and having to wait for the weather/traffic info for the area to scroll through to the correct page. Then reading half of it before it cycled over and having to wait again to read the second half.

You could press the pause button on your remote to stay on the same page
Now you have to know where the TV guide is hidden on the website after clicking through news articles of the Kardashians and Meghan Markle. So much better.
I remember being absolutely enthralled by this shit back when I was a kid for some reason, like this was some kind of future tech or something.
Then just a few years later my father got a modem, and that new shit blew my mind once again.
Maybe it was because I was a kid, but man everything felt so fast in the 90's, and to a lesser extent early 00's, like shit got outdated every other year.
What a weird ride that was.
My dad always checked foreign exchange rates and metal prices. That you could buy gold for a certain sum and the number changes every day captured my imagination.

Wrong. The music was the best part about it.

>spend minutes just to get the weather and tv listings
It was trash
>minutes
how dense are you
Unless you had the numbers memories like your nan it literally did take minutes.
Now you have to know where the TV guide is hidden on the website after clicking through news articles of the Kardashians and Meghan Markle. So much better.
it was slow as frick mate and then you had to wait until it goes onto the next page
>trash
I don't believe you really used teletext, mate.
How does typing three numbers take you minutes
I wasn't talking about that, dumbass. I was talking about the pages showing the listings which change automatically.
GA ha ha. You're all old and throwing your lives away on the internet.
My mother used to check the weather on teletext right as i was watching something
Admit it, you miss it
i miss toonami
what i dont miss is my dad coming home from work and putting star trek TNG on when i wanted to watch DBZ cell saga
>too poor to have sky as a kid
>only had freeview
Our mum cancelled the subscription and internet when cell saga was finally airing. Could only watch eps on Sundays at nans. Sad times.
same here. i was more upset over missing inuyasha though.
3am smooth jazz gaming music because my PC wasn't strong enough to run Runescape and windows media player at the same time.

The best part were the inter-channel teletext feuds.
This was cutting edge! Was so jealous of my friends who had this on their TV's
Colour?

Digitizer for me. Shaped my entire sense of humour, nice to see that they're back and doing quite well on youtube.
Yeah, I liked Digitizer. I'm surprised they got away with some of the stuff they rolled out.
In case you don't know they've been doing youtube stuff for ages now and even had a panel show thing.
Digitizer humour was just a rip off of Your Sinclair magazine.
We still have it. Everyone 40+ uses it to check football scores
Anyone remember NTL?
Yep. I have an old NTL e-mail account out there somewhere.
