Well I tried to find out exactly what this is and what it does but failed and because you obviously live somewhere in Europe which is where it originated perhaps you could enlighten me as to what exactly it is and does? Also I'm gonna take a wild guess that you live somewhere near London if not in London.
Yeah, I live near London. It was one of those "press the red button on your TV remote" things. It was Teletext vs Ceefax.
Example:
so basically it's like a real-time forum on your T.V.? That seems kinda pointless but I guess having the conversation update in real-time could be convenient and this basically seems like something for people who like to be social and can't afford the internet, but can afford T.V.
