Hi  Damon
I am not sure if you are aware that in the early 90s  RNIB were selling
a system called ETNA (cannot remember what that stands for)
the package was a teletext for both speech and Braille, and access to
the  Guardian  news paper daily.
Now the teletext  part of the  paakage  did allow one to access page 888 for
subtitles,  and yes the text  did come up in Braille but was  too  fast
to  keep up.
Sadly when RNIB  decided not to  support the system anymore  on the
grounds  TNAUK  had  taken over  offering the  Guardian service,
nothing more  was  done about teletext.
Regards,
Derek
