mb21 - ether.net - Teletext Then and Now

	These two frames, completely devoid of graphics, have a certain simplistic charm! TDC is The Discovery Channel, and these pages, from 1993, were part of their early transmissions from Intelsat at 27.5°W.

	Things soon smartened up considerably... Unusually there is no date in the header row, but these pages also date from 1993. There are two foreign language characters missing from the first frame, Page 191 appears to be dealing with system reception issues.



	Discovery Channel 1999
	A notable feature of Discovery Text is that programmes are often subtitled in several different languages simultaneously...
	Subtitles are not broadcast on 888 but on a number of different pages. This page shows that list and also explains the codes shown in the listing above.
	Discovery Home and Leisure 1999
	EBN - European Business News
	Euronews
	These Euronews pages were captured in June 2001. Unfortunately my UK decoder is not decoding some of the characters correctly.



	Eurosport
	These Eurosport were taken from the British Eurosport service broadcast by the cable services in the UK.
	While this one was taken from the service on Astra digital in 2001.
