To be able to show teletext pages when running with v4l2 a patch needs to be aplied to alevt-1.6.1. This patch is avaliable within the ivtv tar ball. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install ivtv-0.4 2.install alevt-1.6.1 3.select TV stattion with teletext data and run alevt Actual Results: no teletext pages shown Expected Results: show teletext pages from ivtv/misc/README: alevt.diff Fixes incorrect v4l2 defines (probably derived from older v4l2 API revisions). The patch is for version 1.6.1 and this teletext decoder/browser can be found here: http://www.goron.de/~froese (although this site seems to be down a lot). This patch needs to be applied to alevt to be able to work with ivtv-0.4. On my system with a PVR-350 card alevt-1.6.1 works only after patching.
Fixed in -r2 in CVS. Thanks for the hint!
