In summary, the author is in possession of 2000 VHS tapes containing off-air recordings of British TV from the 90s and early 2000s, including rare teletext data. Teletext was an important source of news before the internet. The tapes were discovered in an old man’s collection and are a valuable historical treasure. A coder found a way to recover teletext data from the tapes. The author started capturing the tapes but is overwhelmed by the task and seeks help to preserve this unique archive. The tapes are located near London and need a new home for preservation. Anyone interested in saving this historic data is encouraged to reach out.
