You seem to have sky digital, so I asked you what ITV did for their interactive. That's all :shrug: Sorry if I didn't make it clear.

three consecutive forums Bigiti :P

Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button
 

Just checked out both Euro 2004 interactive on Sky and ntl and they are roughly the same apart from: The bridges are different, when you select Euro 2004 from the menu on ntl you get the BBCi blue screen whereas on Sky you don't, ntl is slower than Sky's and in the message screen ntl only had 3 pages whereas Sky has 8!

And on the ITVi Euro 2004, all it has is games and stats, nothing compared to BBCi.

i know, and each post is just that bit different! :angel:

Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button
 

lol, where-as i copy and paste :S ... i cant see sky bein faster mine is superb

Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button
 

just to let you know, Teletext will be removed from digital cable very soon, to save money - 'cos dcable is not profitable for them.
another interactive site bites the dust!! :rolleyes:

Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button
 

I presume you mean the Walled Garden-based content from Teletext Ltd, rather than analogue teletext that is available on some channels.

Not that there was any point in using Teletext Ltd's stuff, what with BBCi there, but it's a shame if this is true. It's especially odd considering the new Channel 4 stuff that's launched on DSat and DTT recently, which I thought took its content from Teletext...

Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button
 

We have hardly anything left on interactive now! :(

Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button
 

Hang on, confused here guys - I asked a question a few days ago about the red dot on C4 and I got a reply saying something about 'press red' being displayed for a few minutes only on BBC. I never see this message on BBC running langley platform. I have seen this message on freeview on bbc1 but the freeview software has the sense to only show it for a minute or 2 - is this what is being referrred to??

Also, if it was the C4's fault then why can the bromley platform switch it off - if it's in the broadcast feed then how can some users manage to turn it off?? When I watch C4 the red dot does not appear as soon as the channel is selected - there is a delay of a few seconds. Can you explain this in terms of the red dot being broadcast by c4.

My point is that C4 is sending a signal saying that digital content is available and the NTL software is responding by drawing a red dot.

If I'm wrong can someone post a detailed reply and not just 'lonny is wrong??

Cheers

Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button
 

C4 sends the signal that switches the red dot on and off.

The Bromley platform has an option in the current software release that enables the viewer to override this signal and never display a red dot, even if the channel is broadcasting the display flag. Langley does not have such an option.

BBC red dot's I've not seen them on Langley either, so you are not alone. Perhaps one will be there at 5pm tonight (ENvCH).

Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button
 

I'm on Langley and the BBC1 'Press Red' logo appears for about 30 seconds at the start of each match

Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button
 

Afraid not as ITV will be showing that match! I beleive I heard it mentioned once or twice during ITV matches:rolleyes: !

Try BBC1 @ 19:30 for the wonderful red dot!:)

Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button
 

You have now :)

Yes, it disappears after a short while on Langley.

Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button
