NexTView was an electronic program guide for the analog domain, introduced in 1995 and based on Teletext Level 2.5 / Hi-Text.
[1][2] It was used by TV programme listings for all of the major networks in Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland.
The transmission protocol was based on teletext,[3][4] however, using a compact binary format instead of preformatted text pages.
The nxtvepg software[5] enabled nexTView to be viewed using a personal computer.
Some TV manufacturers that implemented this solution were: Grundig, Loewe, Metz, Philips, Sony, Thomson, and Quelle Universum.
