Long before we had internet newsfeeds or Twitter, Ceefax delivered up-to-the-minute news right to your television screen. Launched by the BBC in 1974, Ceefax was the world’s first teletext service, offering millions of viewers a mix of news, sports, weather, and entertainment on demand. Fast forward 50 years, and the iconic service is being honored with a special exhibition at the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge.

How to run a teletext service on your Raspberry Pi. These instructions will get a teletext service running on your Raspberry Pi. It also downloads a set of pages that so that you can see something immediately.

You need a Raspberry Pi running Rasbian. Ideally this will be a model B. You also need a video cable to suit your Pi, either phono or 4 way 3.5mm jack if you have a Pi2. The TV end will be a phono marked video in or a Scart socket.

Way back in the 70s, the UK and BBC rolled out teletext – an information retrieval service that’s much closer to the ‘television screens connected to computers the size of a room’ popularized by 1960s futurists than the Internet and world wide web. For about 30 years, teletext was one of the most reliable means of information distribution until it was quietly shelved with the rollout of digital television.
