[mythtv] Help getting decent page chooser for teletext.

[Kenneth Aafløy]

Hi,


just wanna give my 10cents:

www.etsi.org (search for teletext):

ETSI TR 100 287 V1.2.1 (2002-12)
Title: Television systems;Code of practice for enhanced Teletext


seems to me that this is something worth skimming through.

Yea, and we all would go to hell, C rocks! :)
