Signal reflections (ghosting) will cause corruption of the text. If you have difficulty with receiving Ceefax then: 1. Check aerial condition and alignment 2. Check the cabling for damage 3. Check all joints and connections If your normal picture quality is poor then good Ceefax reception is unlikely.
