Yeah this does fix the problem. Its not exactly an ideal solution but I 
dont use the teletext so its not a problem for me. I would be interested 
in knowing if this is a bug with myth tv.

It did cross my mind that that it is to do with the signal strength 
which would explain how it only effects certain channels. I use a 
portable antena not a one fixed to the out side of the house. I have 
noticed that when using zapping occasionally a few corrupt charciters 
appear in the teletext window. Some times these also apear when the 
subtitles are writen out to the terminal by mythfrontend. Its justa 
thought any way.

Thanks for your help.
