Connect it with scart or tune via rf to an analogue station to access teletext.
Sky hd boxes via hdmi aren't fond of teletext, I've only seen it work a handful of times.

Kbell is right,analogue teletext (the old fashioned text) doesn't work via hdmi.

Afaik only RTE still use it,but probably won't after digital switchover.
I never use it,red button interactive services are better or just use the 'net for what I want to find out.
