'''Teletext Adaptor and Tuner ''' from [[Microtext Ltd.]]
[[Teletext]] offers one-directional data transmission, broadcast via television signal.
The Microtext adaptor doesn't include a UHF/VHF decoder. Instead, it requires a composite video signal - which can be obtained from following sources:* From the Video Out socket of a Video Recorder (if one does own a VCR)* From from Microtext's Tuner (which was sold separately, for users whom don't own VCRs)** This Tuner was intended to supply a Composite signal for Teletext adaptor.** Ie. unlike other [[CPCTeletext]] Tuners offers one-directional data transmission, broadcast via an television signal (it is a ViewData like the [[MP-3]]system) which were intended to supply a RGB signal to the [[CTM640/CTM644|CTM644]] monitor.
Unknown if the software included support for downloading '''Telesoftware'''? == Required UHF/VHF Decoder (hardware-wise it should be no problem since Telesoftware is transmitted as normal Teletext pagesTuner).==
