Abstract :
A method is described for the transmission of software and digital data at rates of multiples of 500 baud as part of a broadcast television signal. Unlike teletext-based systems, this method enables signals to be recorded on a domestic video recorder for subsequent decoding. The receiver interface is also much simpler, consisting of low-cost, commonplace components in a configuration which can be assembled by novices.
