There was a semi-similar service in the states for a little bit in the later half of the 90s. I can’t for the life of me remember the name. If you bought a WinTV card in 1998ish, it had software with it that would not only tune and let you view the channels… but there was a software that would receive HTML content from select channels. I think WISHTV8 in Indy used it and so did our local PBS station. You could view it in a browser, and typically it was very slow and fairly limited. I think I recall viewing several weather maps that way though.
I just can’t remember the name of it, I think it started with the letter “I” though.
