Analogue teletext is (in my experience) generally carried on Virgin's digital services (something to do with the MPEG compression affecting it).
Your only option is to use it on Analogue TV (probably through an aerial).

You don't actually say which remote control your using to try and get teletext but if you try and use the Virgin/NTL it won't work, If you press the text button on the actual Remote control that you use for your TV (eg Sony Remote for Sony TV) when your on channel 101 (BBC one) you should get ceefax.
