- RTÉ Aertel
RTÉ Aertel is a
teletext service broadcast onRTÉ One andRTÉ Two in theRepublic of Ireland , and also available in its entirety on theInternet .The service began development in the mid-1980s (with tests as early as 1985) and was formally launched on
22 June 1987 . Originally called simply "Aertel", it gained the RTÉ prefix along with RTÉ's other activities from September 2003. Therte.ie news service used to simply wrap Aertel's output in to their web pages, and the service is also available on WAP.A selection of RTÉ Aertel pages are broadcast in-vision on rotation overnight on RTÉ Two after normal programming, under the title "Nightscreen".
In
2003 , RTÉ signed a deal withSysMedia to develop aMHEG-5 based version of Aertel for use on the Sky Digital platform. To date, this project has yet to materialise into a working service. However, an MHEG-5 based Aertel has appeared on the trial digital terrestrial service.Many
FAI League of Ireland fans have dubbed the service 'Errortel' due to the constant inaccurcies, delays & incorrect information with live scoring and reporting of games. [http://foot.ie/forums/showthread.php?t=35687]Content
