With a mix of old-school technology and modern coding, Nathan explains how he recreates the teletext experience, including up-to-date news, sports scores, TV listings, and more. Learn about the challenges of maintaining teletext formats, the intricacies of data feeds, and the community efforts to preserve teletext history.
