Telesoftware
The word Telesoftware was coined by W J G Overington who first proposed the idea; it literally means “software at a distance” and it refers to the transmission of programs for a microprocessor or home computers via broadcast Teletext. Software bytes are presented to a terminal as pairs of standard teletext characters, thus utilizing an existing and well-proven broadcasting system. Pioneered in the UK during the 1970s and 80s. During that time, software was broadcast at various times on all of the four terrestrial TV channels. Telesoftware was available on Ceefax for the BBC Microcomputer via its teletext adapter from 1983–89 and was generally transmitted for a period of one week. Downloading could take place from Friday evening to the following Thursday evening. As the updating took place on a Friday, it was advised not to attempt to download software between 9am and 7pm on Fridays. Other channels provided for several other computers via a range of adapters and set-top boxes. The same delivery system was also used to deliver satellite weather images METEOSAT for download. Although none of the early Telesoftware initiatives survived, many of the techniques are now at the heart of the latest digital television systems.
