given that most TVs support this type of thing, I wonder if there's anything useful that could be built with the software.

- rasz_pl 12y agosure, you could build minitel :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel Teletext was big in the nineties in my country, serving more Classified Ads than any other newspaper.
- vertex-four 12y agoTV information services for hotels? Though the ones I go to already have something technically better, I assume via custom firmware.
- stuaxo 12y agoMost TVs had an option where the teletext could have a transparent background and be overlaid on the picture. You could use this to have different status things overlaid on the screen. + Because you can navigate to other pages [by manually typing the page no, or pressing one of the 4 colour buttons] - there is navigation. I could imagine having an icon pop up, when your washing machine finishes, so you could empty it. Or you could have pages so that you could see if you had new emails, that sort of thing.
