BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

I'm getting TiVo installed today and found out that the red button service on BBC is not working.

Does anyone know if VM have plans to have the red button services included on TiVo and if so does anyone have an idea on when it will be included ????

Thanks
Joff

Re: BBC Red Button service om TiVo ???
 

It should be coming later this year, But no firm date has been given yet? When you push the red button on any BBC channel at the moment it takes you to the BBC I-PLAYER App.

Re: BBC Red Button service om TiVo ???
 

l think there are plans to add it but as to what timepsan l do not know.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

It will be coming later this year. It is simply a case that TiVo has never had interactive services and the software needs to be coded and tested to make sure it all works.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Any set date for when its coming.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Whenever it's ready ;)

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

I know I don't have TIVO, but another question with regards to the red button. Is there any way of accessing the additional program stream on TIVO like you can on freeview (i.e. channel 301), thus bypassing the red button for some sporting events?

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

This is a Quote from a forum team member on the virginmedia help and support forum.

"The red button feature is currently not available on Tivo this is why you only get the Iplayer loading up when pressing the red button on BBC, however this currently being looked into and will be available on Tivo in the future along with red button on Sky channels but only for certain events."

So it looks like we are not getting full Sky red button on the TiVo.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Well l hope that is not the case as it would say we are getting less functionality then on the V plus.:(:(

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

You are reading too much in to Scotts post. He is talking about Sky Sports Red Button and the fact that not every event is currently carried.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Trust you to put me right yet again.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Well if that is the case it would be a bit of a bad move as most people would rather have the V+ than the TiVo. So I think that would be a bad move when they have just launched a new flagship TV box.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Red button on TiVo will be more App orientated, so will actually be better than the current Red Button offerings on our legacy boxes.

The wait should be worth it :)

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Any clue whats in store for us DF and l hope whatever it is in store for us is worth it.:erm::erm::erm:

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

I hope the BBCi interface is more similar to the Freeview interface on the TiVo box. Would be even better if you could access everything available on the full BBC website though I doubt they would be able to go that far

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Some of the things that are going to be done for the BBCi 2012 Olympics sound amazing! There will be loads of content! it was posted on the VM Community Website, but removed later.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Yes this is very true and if I remember correctly from the post they said that it was going to be app based, Also have about 24/25 interactive streams for different sports. So as DF says it will be very amazing:D

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Wow.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Yes "WOW" This will have more streams than SKY sports :erm:

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

it would be good to get one over that snake Murdoch.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Very true the biggest company against the second biggest company:erm:

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

Just hope we don't have to wait until the Olympics to get access to Red button services

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

Your guess is as good as mine.:erm::erm:

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

Wimbledon starting next week, and still no BBC Red Button service - beginning to wish I'd never bothered with TiVo.

Any more news on when this will be available ? Is it linked to the Sky Red Button service, or are they being worked on separately ?

Frustrated sports fan...............

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

All very well, but the Olympics are still more than a year away.

The BBC seem to be supporting apps for mobile and now other platforms - see http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/apps...es-news-app-tv

How about something like this for Tivo?

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

This is the way that they are thinking and also it could be the way forward as well:confused:

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

I heard August for Red button - dunno where i heard it thou

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

Lets hope that is the case as that would be nice.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

hi - am considering Tivo - but are we saying that apart from BBC iPlayer, there is no red button functionality

The part that concerns me most is F1 - as all the practise sessions are on the red button, and without that, Tivo for me is a non-starter.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

Does your TV have built in freeview that you could possibly use? That's what I do if I don't wanna shift upstairs.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Am looking forward and am quite prepared to be patient!!

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo ???
 

Yes we just have to count to ten several times and be patient and hopefully the wait will be worth it.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

No - the TV where tivo would go does not have freeview, and am not able to go upstairs to watch (errr....working....:D)

Oh a seperate note (and I know slightly off topic, so apologies) - I have read that you get a 2nd installation (i.e. box) for the fees - is this correct, and if so, does this still apply if I already have multi-room in a 2nd location ?

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

I know I keep asking but any dates on "full" Red Button on TIVO yet?

I want to have it installed but am waiting until full functionality.

Ta :)

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

In the next 2 months hopefully Mobes from what l have heard.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

How long have messages along these lines been offered to us:erm:
I will believe it when it happens,then I will swap the boxes around again.Can cope with no reminders -just getting old. But love the V+ red button.

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

Ben you have posted that that many times now that I think you are close to being called gerald or HDBoy :p:

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

And yet people don't seem to be reading it ;)

Re: BBC Red Button service on TiVo?
 

Exactly but l like to keep up with every bit of information as you might have noticed.:)

I hope the ‘enhanced Red Button’ service is good!
