Subject: Teletext Display Error

I've noticed a problem with certain Teletext pages being displayed
incorrectly via the Teletext adapter.

Actually, I have been aware of this problem for several years but I put
it down to bad tuning on my Acorn Teletext adapter, but now I've noticed
the same problem using the Morley Teletext adapter on a different aerial.

It occurs on lines where there is a coloured background, and the text
colour does not display, leaving a "blank" line of colour.

If anyone is still using Teletext and can go to page 704 on BBC-1, this
is an index of the local government results between pages 707 and 712.
On my Teletext adapters, the two lines for page 707 are blank, the first
line is white and the second line is yellow.  The second line for page
709 and the first line for page 710 are both white.

(I can probably take some pictures to illustrate if it will help.)

Is there a way to cure this problem?

Best wishes,



Ian
