Can you say “Teletext”? I still have a couple of Zenith digital televisions that can receive that signal, if available. Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

There were some interesting competing products around that time which used datacasting over Vertical Blanking Interval in the PBS television signal. You subscribe to the service, and they would send you a box which you hooked to your incoming cable feed, and it did the VBI extraction and provided it to a DOS application running on the computer for display. I wish I could remember the name of the company, but at the time I thought it was pretty interesting.
