Yes, but not the normal BBC and ITV channels. Try BBC1 on 926 and BBC2 on 951. Also, the Sky, UKTV and EMAP music channels. In many cases the only teletext present is the subtitles on page 888.
Note I'm assuming you have ntl digital. I think the odd channel has teletext on analogue too.

2) I have a Philips VL1200 wireless TV transmitter and a Samsung STB, I use this to view NTL upstairs in another room and it works great. However the box says NTL remotes will not work with this and it seems they are right, am I am to buy a generic or any other remote that will allow me to switch channels ?????

It should work, but you may have to mess around with the sender positioning to get it to work reliably. Also, bear in mind wireless senders are prone to interference, e.g. from wireless LANs.
Isn't it funny how you can get three completely different replies?
