Pretty much all German channels still run an old style teletext service, because they didn't have MHEG based RedButton services like the UK when they switched to digital.
And the new replacement HbbTV isnt't realy gaining any traction either. It's slow, the receiver needs to be connected to the internet, you constantly get an intrusive pop-up when changing channels ...
