@@buzwad that's a good idea. Probably finding some public APIs that feed android widgets and such would be easier to pull and format. Probably be in some kind of JSON, RSS or CSV that would be easy to work with.
I feel like we really missed out in North America by not having Teletext. Great video btw, I like your approach to creating the channel. I wish this video had existed when I was creating mine, I may rebuild one of my channels to give your method a try.
Ah you definitely missed out on the Bamboozle fun at the very least! haha Thanks man, appreciate the comment, if you get around to trying it this way sometime let me know how it goes. :)
100%! Genuinely think TV was better when we only had a handful of channels - hell, BBC / ITV had higher quality output when they were the main players as they had one another to compete with. Too many 'nothing' channels out there like Dave, Yesterday etc which show the same programmes on repeat, and nowhere near enough quality from the old mainstay. I'm not a fan of streaming services either...
I grew up when we had kids magazine shows like Going Live on a Saturday morning, followed by Grandstand and then shows like Gladiators, Blind Date, Big Break, Generation Game, Noels House Party et al on a Saturday night. And the Beeb always had quality sitcoms! Sad state of affairs that we have the same singing and dancing shows on every year, and the cursed I'm A Celebrity.
Love it! I have an interesting setup but have not tried using Pi yet. I have 5x MPEG2 DVB-T Modulators (4 of which are hooked up to an Apple TV each which is dedicated to IPTV, 1 is connected via HDMI to my Satellite TV receiver that is tuned to MTV Classic). I've got a Digital TV Set Top Unit that receives the Digital signal that is MTV Classic which is set to 4:3 Pan & Scan and output via composite to a Analogue PAL Stereo RF Modulator which creates a perfect analogue stereo signal for me to record music videos on to video cassette. I have two MPEG4 DVB-T modulators that are also connected to Apple TV that are out putting various non-recordable content. The MPEG2 signal can be recorded to a DVR or DVD Recorder where as the MPEG4 signal is copy protected
Where do you get archive content from? Would love to run a project similar to this video, but the nostalgic tidbits I’d love to include (TV idents, ads, newscasts etc) are hard to find outside of the random nature of UA-cam uploads. As an ideal project, would love to mirror TV output to the date (so for example, whatever was being broadcast at 9.30pm on Sunday 24th December on BBC One would be playing if I was to tune in to a ‘virtual’ BBC One right now) I get that it would be a complete pipe dream and unrealistic, but still…
That would be an interesting project. I'd like to see it done. If only there was an entire backup of teletex data someplace of actual teletex like a wiki that we could use?
Can i also do this without a Raspberry Pi, but instead with a old Dell Latitude D505? I dont really have a Raspberry Pi that is good, the only one i have is one with horrible Mini HDMI ports that half the time dont work, and I dont feel like the RF Modulator would be that big of an issue. I wanna do this through the VGA port. I either wanna make it show late-90s Cartoon Network, or the Prevue Guide. In short: Can i do this with an old laptop with VGA? (of course, not the teletext, but that would be cool too!)

Nice, lots of TV's have teletext, however the free to air networks have abandoned it in my area, so being able to do something with it seems nice.
Bamboozle, bbc sports and teletext holidays were a must do Saturday morning thing for me.
Same. And having to wait for the football scores to loop through several pages to get to my team. Simpler times, I absolutely miss all of it..
Idea: get some kind of web scraper to look for holidays/flights of interest, then use that to update the teletext page

It might seem like a retro move but I love the idea of video NOT on demand. Too much choice can be a bad thing.

I hate scrolling through menus
Awesome man! Been tinkering with my Pi for my 3d printer, been considering getting another for fun little projects like this 👌
Thanks dude! Pi's are great for messing about with all sorts of Linux projects for sure! :D

Is there a way to create teletext over DVB? Like in the channels in DVB-T/T2
That would be an interesting project. I'd like to see it done. If only there was an entire backup of teletex data someplace of actual teletex like a wiki that we could use?
What raspberry pi did you use for this?
Can it output more than one channel signal?
Can i also do this without a Raspberry Pi, but instead with a old Dell Latitude D505?
