Never seen it before - shame they can't do the same for Ceefax, that'd be fun!

If you prefer the real thing you can get it on satellite. Tune in the RT� channels, you won't be able to watch the programmes of course (unless you're in the RoI) but you will be able to get teletext.

If I had Sky that would be a stellar idea ... but since I don't ...

Staff used to be able to access Ceefax via the BBC Intranet but as far as I know it's not supported anymore.

888 works for subtitled programmes too so you can follow what is said on Six-One.
Since TG4 went clear up here for a month in March 2004 and then was encrypted again, I haven't been able to get 'Teacs TG4'.
