| The web stylesheets don't support held graphics, which is why we have black blocks separating the colours on the map. Changes of mode (e.g. colour) require a control character, which was displayed as a black block. Hold graphics allowed you to change mode and in the place of the black block you got the graphic character of the preceding character on the line. |

ReplyDeleteAmazing time-machine recovery. Thanks for doing this and sharing. Looking forward to the new stuff.
Delete@OneSwitch.org.uk - Thanks for the kind words! Yes, there are lots more, depending on the era/channel that you are interested in.
ReplyDeleteI'll try and post this grab in full before Christmas.
Love the 1970s to late 1980s but love any of the art too. How do you recover this stuff? Betamax into a PC with teletext software I guess? Really cool.
ReplyDeleteThe 'hows' are covered earlier in the blog, but you are essentially right, with the addition of some processing to de-blur the teletext signal.
