It's some information that is being transmitted along with the TV channel you are watching, about a thousand pages of text that you can choose from with news, weather, TV-guides etc.

Sort of a small web that you can browse, but instead of clicking the links you enter a three digit number to get to the right page. Not very impressive nowdays perhaps, but considering it's a technology from the 70's, it's quite cool.

Some pages you enter gives you subtitles for the show currently on TV, so it's very useful for the hearing impaired.

You can try out http://www.cnn.com/cnntext/ if you want a taste of it.
