When digital switchover takes place, 'normal' teletext (i.e., that carried in the VBI which you access by pressing the Text button on your analogue TV) will be switched off by most, if not all channels.

There's no VBI teletext on BBC/ITV/C4/C5 on Sky or Freeview either, by the way.

EDIT: That's quite a good article - one or two ambiguous points, but a good general overview of the situation.
