@seabass @grishka each page is protected by a 16 bit CRC, which as far as we can see was only ever used by the teletext adapter.
There is no error correction of page content only detection, so errors from poor signal/tuning etc. just cause it to loop around downloading the pages until they're all received intact.

@zxguesser @seabass in my personal experience the receiver would just display whatever.

Here are my recent experiments btw, every page is full of errors, but it's a miracle this decoder managed to recover anything at all:
