replying to Devin Heitmueller:

There were some interesting competing products around that time which used datacasting over Vertical Blanking Interval

Stargate transmitted USENET that way: https://stargatemuseum.org/html/stargate_project.html

Thanks for pointing that out Jeff! I think that’s super-cool! Much later there was also TV Guide On Screen (TVGOS) which sent guide data in the NTSC & analog cable days, usually on PBS channels. -Jonathan
