Same here. The Dutch public broadcaster even switched to a brand new cloud-based Teletext system last November. The old system was breaking down too often and not many people still knew how it worked, so a brand new system was developed to replace the old one.

Not only is Teletext still used very often, the public broadcaster is also legally obligated to have Teletext, and for aviators the law specifies Teletext as one of three legal options for pilots to check the weather on when preparing for a flights.

The Dutch news site tweakers wrote a small piece about this upgrade last week (use your favourite translation tool): https://tweakers.net/reviews/11700/hoe-werkt-het-vernieuwde-...




I understood that it was mostly because the software was out of support for a while already.
