This version of ivtv is very old and does is not supported anymore.

I get a 'page not > available' message, but that is it. Can you test wiith other programs to read teletext? It should be on /dev/vbi0 (if you only have 1 ivtv card). In general it is recommended to upgrade to an ivtv version that was merged into the mainline kernel (2.6.26 and up should be a good starting point). I know if it aint broke dont fix it but this version is so old and current in kernel ivtv has so many fixes and improvements. If you do decide to upgrade make sure you make a backup of everything so when it does not work out for you then at least you can go back.
