Tried the reboot but it doesn't work. Looks like you can't get Aertel through HDMI??

I always use the RTÉ website for Aertel these days.

No. HDMI won't do Teletext.
Connect a SCART AS WELL to same TV and switch to SCART when you want teletext.

Hmm, thanks for clarifying that. Bit of a shame.

Folks, haven't read the entire thread very carefully, but on a general note regarding RTE text they would want to get their act together on the basic text which is so slow to update its laughable,especially when a goal is scored in a soccer match.Digital text generally is not as quick as the old style so that doesn't bode well for the RTE version. Prove me wrong and I'll hold my hands up but I'm not over confident on this one :-(

I also fail to see what people are getting excited by.

Aertel at the moment is a decent teletext service. I have full confidence that when the digitaltext replaces it, it won't be as good. I can see no benefit digital text has over teletext, but many downsides.

I wouldn't get too worried... The original post was from March 2003.. :eek:
On a positive note, Icehouse is no longer a newbie!

CNN (americans who don't even have teletext in USA) do a great Teletext service on Analog and Digital Satellites.

CNN appear to be winding it down unfortunately. I tried CNN teletext during the week. No news anymore, news on their teletext has been discontinued, it gave a URL instead!

Yes CNN have discontinued it and it is a pity, First thing in the morning for me was to check RTE AERTEL, CNN Text and then read Sky News Active which in my opinion is an excellent news service and one RTE Should Model themselves on for their Digital Teletext on DTT and Digital Satellite.
