| Welcome to The TV Shelter. We are sorry to say that as of the 8th April 2014, The TV Shelter will no longer be open to new posts, threads or members. Like that famous Monty Python sketch, this forum has joined the choir invisible. However this will continue to remain as an archive so that visitors can mindlessly plunder through old threads to look at PIFs, TV listings and other miscellanea that made this place truly unique. And if you still can't get your fix of TV nostalgia visit Facebook's TV Heaven or even TV Ark, the website that spawned the original forums. And finally a long standing has made a successor to the TV Shelter, which to a few is reminiscent of when an ITV franchise would change to another. The forum is called The TV Lounge and should keep the spirit running that it's predecessors carried. We hope you enjoy your visit. |

Intresting I still have a (second hand) working N1700 here! As for ATV I've never found out how to recieve it......All this talk of old dxtv has resurrected an odd memory, something that I only recall ever happened once and once only. Now I'm not too sure as to when this happened, I'd guess maybe possibly late 1980s but well ..... you know when you see "pages from ceefax" on the BBC? Well one day I happened to be tuning around - in the place that I used to be able to (and still do) recieve BBC1 Wales/HTV West (these are right at the top of the dial, so to speak) and came across something similar to pages from ceefax, only that it was either on the same channel number as either BBC1 Wales or HTV west I do not know which one. What was being shown as a series of text pages and although I can't remember what they said it all looked quite intresting as these weren't "pages from ceefax", though they were pages of computer-generated text. For a start unlike teletext/ceefax/oracle the background was much lighter (bear in mind I was seeing this in B&W!) and also the style of writing (font) used on the pages definately didn't look like a BBC Micro (it looked closer to something like an Amstrad CPC). Weather or not I was watching some sort of experiment, pirate TV channel or whatever I've never been able to find out. SP |
