==Teefax== Teefax is a revamped version of Ceefax for the [[Raspberry Pi]] computer introduced in August 2016 by Peter Kwan. To view Teefax, enthusiasts connect a Raspberry Pi running appropriate software to the signal input of a Teletext-capable TV.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://teastop.co.uk/teletext/|title=Teletext Projects|website=teastop.co.uk|access-date=9 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170613032450/http://teastop.co.uk/teletext/|archive-date=13 June 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> Kwan said: "It's like the modern-day equivalent of restoring steam engines. It's completely useless but it keeps us occupied." The service has 12 pages of up-to-date news and Kwan hopes to create an online archive of old teletext pages from Britain, Germany and France.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/shortcuts/2016/aug/10/teefax-a-nostalgic-return-to-the-days-of-teletext|title=Teefax: a nostalgic return to the days of teletext|date=10 August 2016|work=The Guardian}}</ref><ref>A few pages of Teefax can be seen on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODPRnCO4kl4 this ITV news report].</ref>
