A "correct page header received" (CPHR) flip-flop (3) is set by the page header of a required teletext page and reset by the next following page header, a "page end" flip-flop (15) generates a page end output (17) in response to the receipt of the next following page header, a "row received" flip-flop (11) detects at least one row of the required teletext page, a gate (14) inhibits the generation of an end of page output (21) for a predetermined period, typically corresponding to three field intervals, and an AND gate (18) further inhibits the generation of an end of page output (21) if there has been a subsequent detection of a further page header of the required teletext page within the predetermined period. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A teletext decoder comprising: means for detecting the page header of a required teletext page, means for detecting the next following page header, and means responsive to the detection of said next following page header for generating an end of page signal, means for detecting at least one row of said required teletext page, and means for inhibiting the generation of said end of page signal if 1) at least one row of said required teletext page has not been detected, or 2) there has been a subsequent detection of a further page header of said required teletext page within a predetermined period.
2.
A teletext decoder as claimed in claim 1 wherein said means for detecting the next following page header includes a first bistable device which is set in one of its states in response to the receipt of the page header of said required teletext page and in its other state in response to the receipt of said next following page header, said means for inhibiting including a second bistable device which is set in one of its states in response to the receipt of said at least one row of said required teletext page and is subsequently set in its other state, first gating means responsive to the receipt of said next following page header and the output of said second bistable device for generating a signal indicative of a possible page ending, delay means having a delay corresponding to said predetermined period to which the output of said first gating means is applied, and second gating means operable on the output of said delay means and in response to the output of said first bistable device and the output of said first gating means for generating said end of page signal.
3.
A teletext decoder as claimed in claim 2 wherein said means for inhibiting includes a third bistable device which is set in one of its states by the output from said first gating means and is subsequently set in its other state.
4.
A teletext decoder as claimed in claim 3, wherein the second gating means comprises an AND gate to which an inverted output of said first gating means, an inverted output of said delay means and the output of said third bistable means are applied
