My grandfather used to read it daily when he was visiting my family home. He was deaf so it was his main use of TV set. Also at the time he didn't have TV with teletext at his own home. First channel of public television had news pages and that was what he was reading almost exclusively. He was in his 70s and didn't use glasses to read, but he was sitting near the screen. Now I wonder, if he would still be alive, would he use Internet with tablet. He also used to read newspapers, but teletext was cheaper :) In Poland public television called teletext TeleGazeta (TeleNewspaper) and use of the name I believe was reserved only for public TV. Nevertheless most people I knew called teletext on every channel as TeleGazeta. Our TV set was sold by the manufacturer without teletext, but it was added by a seller. Remote didn't had keys dedicated for teletext so few keys had different function in teletext mode.
