Re: BBC Red Button
 

I went to do exactly the same thing as well haveing recently just got my new TiVo box.

So there is NO interaction with ANY BBC programmes at present only the NEWS, SPORT or I-PLAYER option. Is there a time frame as to when this connectivity will be available on TiVo?:(

(I'm SO glad I kept my V+HD box phew!!) :)

Re: BBC Red Button
 

So no idea then . Unlike S4C who keep telling me its there but Virgin don`t want it. Customers first. Sorry but that is a joke. :erm:

Re: BBC Red Button
 

I no see no reason why VM won't be doing it. Up till recently S4C were adamant that VM couldn't do it not wouldn't do it, so I wonder how much engagement there was from them?

I'm sure it'll be on the list of things to add to TiVo

Also BBC Red Button and the alternate audio stream for S4C are completely different technically so the S4C thing is irrelevent to this thread

Re: BBC Red Button
 

More words match than don`t in the title topic ;):D

Re: BBC Red Button
 

For those not in the know S4C refer to it as the "Red button" what is does is another matter

Re: BBC Red Button
 

TBH, no it's not. You are the one that created the thread about S4C http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11...-the-rest.html so why not use that to discuss it further, rather than this thread which is about BBC Red Button on TiVo, and not S4C on TiVo

Re: BBC Red Button
 

Can someone please explain how this RED BUTTON works on VM, and it is frustrating.

Watching the games on SS4 it stated that you could watch the different games, go to the channel (Celtic), try to go back to the Chelsea game, Red Button doesn't work.

Went to SS2 and did exactly the same as that is what my box was telling me, did that and found that l couldn't go back to the channel l wanted on the red button, so l had to keep going back to the guide and do it all again - driving me nuts.

Re: BBC Red Button
 

I sense that this is hitting a nerve. Pity I cant hit the red button ( at least not via Virgin) :shocked:

And here we are near on in to December and still there is no improvement in the BBC Sports app.:td:

Re: BBC Red Button
 

What's this then? Do we actually have a Red Botton service starting today. http://www.techradar.com/news/televi...-boost-1117026

Re: BBC Red Button
 

Its working on my Tivo and is an improvement on the old version.

Re: BBC Red Button
 

Great news but I hope they've sorted the appalling picture quality and buffering/stuttering issues on the streams. Watching multiscreen for Wimbledon this year was disgracefully bad.

..Oh and "It's not looking likely that the nifty new Red Button services will come to Sky though.

Daniel Danker, general manager of BBC programmes and on demand at the BBC told us, "Sky is a closed platform – I shouldn't even call it a platform, it's a closed service. There's no open platform to develop into. I have no line of sight of Connected Red Button coming to Sky unless they shift their approach."

Re: BBC Red Button
 

Looks as if Sky will be missing out on the new service:
