Infonet sister companies, 8TV, TV9 and NTV7, are transmitting teletext. Infonet ceased operation from 1 January 2008. Therefore, there are now no TV stations transmitting Teletext in Malaysia. Infonet uses the BBC Ceefax teletext system. Infonet Infonet was a Malaysian teletext service. It was formerly known as Beriteks (a combination of the Malay word "Berita", meaning "news", and "Teks", which is a borrowed word from the English language meaning "text"). The teletext system was launched on 2 June 1985 by TV3. While RTM1 and RTM2 were still transmitting Teletext, the contents of the transmission were different from those offered by TV3's
Teletext during which the webpages of major news sites became inaccessible because of the high demand. Teletext is also used for carrying special packets interpreted by TVs and video recorders, containing information about subjects such as channels and programming. Although the term "teletext" tends to be used to refer to the PAL-based system, or variants, the recent availability of digital television has led to more advanced systems being provided that perform the same task, such as MHEG-5 in the UK, and Multimedia Home Platform. Teletext is a means of sending text and simple geometric shapes to a properly equipped television screen
