Yes, that is much better. I was always envious of my British family’s ability to use teletext and get weather, sports, and even airport arrival/departure info on their TV instantly before the internet was mainstream.

Meanwhile, in the US, I was stuck listening to radio trying to figure out if my school was closed or had a delayed opening on any inclement weather day.
