-Teletext Interface
-******************
-
-This interface was aimed at devices receiving and demodulating Teletext
-data [:ref:`ets300706`, :ref:`itu653`], evaluating the Teletext
-packages and storing formatted pages in cache memory. Such devices are
-usually implemented as microcontrollers with serial interface
-(I\ :sup:`2`\ C) and could be found on old TV cards, dedicated Teletext
-decoding cards and home-brew devices connected to the PC parallel port.
-
-The Teletext API was designed by Martin Buck. It was defined in the
-kernel header file ``linux/videotext.h``, the specification is available
-from
-`ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/videotext/ <ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/videotext/>`__.
-(Videotext is the name of the German public television Teletext
-service.)
-
-Eventually the Teletext API was integrated into the V4L API with
-character device file names ``/dev/vtx0`` to ``/dev/vtx31``, device
-major number 81, minor numbers 192 to 223.
-
-However, teletext decoders were quickly replaced by more generic VBI
-demodulators and those dedicated teletext decoders no longer exist. For
-many years the vtx devices were still around, even though nobody used
-them. So the decision was made to finally remove support for the
-Teletext API in kernel 2.6.37.
-
-Modern devices all use the :ref:`raw <raw-vbi>` or
-:ref:`sliced` VBI API.
