Quadraphonic sound promised so much in 1970 but by the end of the decade it had been and gone. Surely it was the next great thing after high fidelity stereo records just a few years earlier? Why did it fail despite being available on three different recording mediums and over the air, how did the whole thing play out, and how can you enjoy those 1970s quadraphonic recordings today with equipment you likely already have at home?

For some people, teletext was just something that had always been there. But for certain older people like me, who can remember TV before teletext, it was a godsend. Before this the idea of instantly finding out the latest news, weather or sports scores was impossible. Teletext changed all that, in 40 columns and 24 rows of blocky text and gaudy graphics. And it became popular despite the expense of teletext capable TVs. But where did the idea come from, why wasn’t it a thing in the USA, and why is it back - on the Internet? • Teletext on Channel 4 1998 reconstituted from video tape recordings: http://www.uniquecodeanddata.co.uk/teletext76/ch4-19981023/ • Page of all recordings reconstituted, going back to 1979: http://www.uniquecodeanddata.co.uk/teletext76/ • Another teletext archive: https://www.teletextarchive.com/ • Teefax service online: https://zxnet.co.uk/teletext/viewer/ • Nathan Dane’s Ceefax service online: https://www.nathanmediaservices.co.uk/ceefax/ • Nathan’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AvroVulcanXH607 • Open University TV programme discussing some of the technical parts of teletext: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwfQ8Y8l4Fo • Jason Robertson talk about recovering teletext from VHS tapes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy23geJFMUQ • ZDF (Germany) teletext recreation: https://teletext.zdf.de/teletext/zdf/ To get early ad-free access to new videos, or your name at the end of my videos, please consider supporting me from just $1 or 80p a month at https://www.patreon.com/bigcar Link to my other channel - Big Car: https://https://www.youtube.com/bigcar2 Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_captioning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullard_SAA5050 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestel https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=950&dat=19790516&id=DwEMAAAAIBAJ&sjid=21gDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6334,14832 https://books.google.com/books?id=DilcKbMBXRMC&pg=PA581#v=onepage&q&f=false https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NABTS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExtraVision https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBC_Teletext https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JTES https://www.eldiario.es/politica/teletexto-no-pasa-moda-carcel-jueces-avalan-prohibicion-detectar-sirve-reclusos-comunicarse_1_6370432.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_recorder_scheduling_code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programme_Delivery_Control https://625.uk.com/pdc/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceefax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORACLE_(teletext) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext_Ltd. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHEG-5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Red_Button https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_terrestrial_television_in_the_United_Kingdom https://www.alphr.com/life-culture/1002880/the-teletext-salvagers-how-vhs-is-bringing-teletext-back-from-the-dead/ http://www.uniquecodeanddata.co.uk/teletext76/ch4-19981023/ https://www.techradar.com/news/internet/how-teletext-and-ceefax-are-coming-back-from-the-dead-1326145 https://www.nathanmediaservices.co.uk/ceefax/ https://www.nathanmediaservices.co.uk/ceefax/history/ #littlecar

Early Compact Disc demonstrations tried to show how indestructible it was by smearing honey & pouring coffee on it, then playing it. Did the disc and more importantly the player stand up to such abuse? Let's find out!

The Compact Disc appeared in 1982, and at a time when anything “digital” was the future, was marketed as the ultimate in sound quality. So, to help sell “pure digital” CDs, the Society of Professional Audio Recording Services, or SPARS for short, came up with a lettering system to show how “analogue” or “digital” were a CD’s contents.

A sample of the sort of things that Patrons have access to, if you're interested. Are Shorts lucrative? Do people watch them? With the Fiat Uno & Lexus LS getting 26% of the vote, which won out? Plus a deeper dive into the latest videos, what I think of Tesla's full self driving (after having it for 1 day), and my first sponsorship (ARGH!). Don't worry, it's a good one! Patrons get early ad-free access to new videos (usually a week ahead), and these monthly updates. Levels start at $1 or £1 or €1 a month. https://www.patreon.com/bigcar Link to my other channel - Big Car: https://https://www.youtube.com/bigcar2 #littlecar
