  • Patent number: 5038212
    Abstract: Teletext decoder comprising a decoding circuit (45) and a memory medium (46) in which a reception indication is stored for the transmitted pages so as to indicate whether a requested page is present or not present in a transmitted cycle. The teletext decoder is adapted to determine the duration of the cycle at which the teletext pages are transmitted. It also determines the waiting time for a requested teletext page and to display it on the display screen of a television receiver via a character generator (47). The user is also informed of the occurrence of rotating pages and the reading time of such pages is displayed. The convenience of use of a television receiver with such a teletext decoder is thereby improved considerably.
