Suddenly remembered a thing old Daewoo CRT TV had, which I used when I was a kid.
On it's TV remote it had a set of unnamed buttons, four of them were coloured, others didn't. They were doing absolutely nothing, except only one that turned the whole image black with a line that had same colors, ordered the same way they were on the remote. I think it was some kind of menu, but the feature itself was missing?
So... what was that? -

So... what was that?@a1ba@suya.place teletext did provide 4 colored areas which could change pages. With the same colored buttons on the remote.
Maybe it was translucent teletext? Or the button activated subtitles / closed captions? Often provided through teletext.
At least in Germany. -

Others in my family would rather prefer if I didn't touch these buttons because they didn't know what these do either and, sadly, weren't curious. -

@coaxial ну вот я никогда не видел этот ваш телетекст вживую, но видимо телевизор его поддерживал, а у нас его нигде и не было. -
