Summary: Is it worth it?


     The latest issue of Radio Electronics has a construction article for
a TeleText decoder.  My questions are: 
	Is it worth it?
	Is it worth spending $200 on the kit?
	Are there any consumer products available to do this?
		(I haven't noticed any yet)
	What kinds of info are typically available?
	In this area, there are 3 channels that seem to have info in the
		vertical refresh band, how does one tell if it is teletext,
		closed caption, or other info?
	Can closed caption info be transmitted on the same channel as teletext?
	...and so on.
