SCART Freeview Receiver

Hi
I recently bought a Nikkai SCART Freeview receiver as part of a new Maplin store opening day offer and while it seems mostly fine for tv, I can't get Teletext through it. Choosing the Text button just displays 'Off' with seemingly no way of changing it! Anyone else with one of these please?:confused:

    At a guess it doesn't support "teletext" and the "text" button is for subtitles

    What does it say in the manual about features of this box?
  • Thanks for speedy reply. Manual says " Press the TEXT to open a teletext page (if teletext is transmitted)." I can get text through the analogue signal and would be surprised if digital signal in Cardiff from SW Englang mast doesn't translit Teletext.
