Subject: Teletext

Is there a way of recording the teletext signal onto videotape or
DVD so it can be decoded with a Teletext adapter at a later date?

I'm hoping that I will be able to save as many pages from Teletext as
possible before the signal is switched off.   There are only 5 months left
round here, so it would be handy if I could make some recordings and 
download the teletext pages at my leisure at a later stage.

On a related point, can teletext information be recovered from existing
off-air recordings?  I've a few videotapes from the late 1980s and early
1990s (and onwards) and it would be nice to be able to download Teletext
pages from this era, as all this information has probably been lost forever.

If I can find that old tape of the 1984 Olympics, it might have some
Telesoftware on it...........

Best wishes,



Ian
