Just bought a TV Wonder and having resolved compatibility issues
with my Geoforce (CLAP) card I would now like to make use of
teletext but find the following MAJOR ommissions in its functionality.

(1) No support of sub-pages (no comments in poorly written help pages either)
(2) No support for fastext (red,green,blue,yellow) keys

Can this be true ?

The ATI Europe web page states the following for TV Wonder
Teletext features :-

   - Get easy access to the written information provided by different
     TV channels such as the weather forecasts, the last football results
     or the latest news titles. "

   - advanced Teletext functonality with master and slave modes, multipage
      mode, channel name recognition

I don't know what master/slave modes are, but multipage sounds like
"sub-pages".

I notice that US/Canada users can get an update using a request form from
the support website, but no mention of updates for European users. 8-(

Fastext is totally omitted :(
Bearing in mind windows 2000 was released in mid feb, ati have only just
released the multimedia center for PAL (still beta :(
