Subject: Morley Teletext Adapter
The SVHS video recorder has arrived, but not the SVHS tapes. However
it can also record in SVHS "ET" mode (nothing to do with the 1982 film
apparently) and I've been able to receive Teletext through the Morley
adapter using a video recording with pretty good reception, so I am very
hopeful once the SVHS tapes arrive.
I tried an old tape from 1990, which handily dated itself by having a
trailer for BBC Proms 90 recorded on it, but, as expected, there was
nothing.
Best wishes,
Ian

I've got it working now. I had been using an inside aerial (the same one
I used to good effect at Byte-Back) but I've now plugged it into the outside
aerial.
The tuner is very sensitive, so you can go right past channels without finding
anything. It helps to have an idea of where the channels are before
starting.
This has led to a 30 year misconception being revealed - having thought,
since about 1977, that we were on the Winter Hill transmitter, it turns
out that we're on the Bacup one!
Thanks to everyone who helped.
Best wishes,
Ian

All the versions of ATS I have (2.58, 2.59 and 3) all appear to be (C)
BBC but ATS 2.59 also says Morley in the header.
Best wishes,

Is that ATS 2.59 (c) Acorn or (c) Morley?
