Abstract

A teletext communications system comprises a transmitter, e.g. an orbiting satellite, transmitting multiple pages of a teletext encoded data service at selected times of the day, each teletext page including a first non-displayable auxiliary teletext data row defining a selected time interval and a unique page memory address code. The transmitter also continuously transmits a second non-displayable auxiliary teletext data row including a time of day code. A teletext decoder is adapted for acquiring and storing each transmitted teletext page at a page memory defined by said page memory address code and automatically rebroadcasts each of the stored pages for which the stored selected time interval coincides with the transmitted time of day code.
