Glasto Red Button channels
 

Am I going insane !? Half an hour ago I was watching Glasto on BBC Red Button channels 1,2,3 on VM channels 911, 912, 913. Now after a comfort break they are no longer there ?

Have I done summat to hide them ? Anyone know how to get them up?

Should be on 991,992 & 993, other IP based streams of other stages should be available from pressing red on a BBC channel and clicking the links.

And RBHD on 994 !

thanks - yep I stumbled across them :o:

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

I've been watching them tonight and it's proved really useful that they are on actual channels so they can be recorded. Excellent!

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

I hope people are enjoying the Glastonbury coverage. I couldn't believe how much I did not like it. Will stick to Wagner :-)

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

Channels 991 to 994 are one of the best additions to TiVo in ages :)

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

Now I think I am going insane.

My mate on TIVO has access to all 6 stages LIVE.

I am on V+ and I only have acecss to the crappy 4 red button channel highlights.

Is this for real?

£90 a month for this and I don't even get proper red button service?

FFS. I really am at the end of my tether with Virgin.

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

Yes it is, because that is what the way BBC have designed it to be.

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

Have to say it seems to me the reason they introduced them was because of the absolute awful, awful, unwatchable quality of the TIVO red button.

They (BBC, VM, whomever) ought to be utterly embarrassed.

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

Ah brill. That's ok then.

It's not like I've been looking forward to this or anything.

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

The reason the BBC introduced them is that it is the only way to get extra content on to all the platforms, after the reduction of the previous streams due to the 'Delivering Qualify First' review

Not actually anything to do with the quality of the BBC streams in their Connected Red Button app

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

your mate is using the BBC Glastonbury app witch is an internet connected app due to the tivos internal modem that allows stream the content off the bbc website. so if you want to keep up with the latest content you will need to upgrade to a tivo box to enable you retrieve this content as the V+ cannot pickup this content.

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

Last year we were moaning as we didn't have the red button properly on Tivo. Now we're moaning as the pic quality isn't great...

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

Pretty much unrelated but still with the BBC theme. Is anyone getting sound interference on BBC HD 108, getting an annoying clicking noise. Other channels are fine.

Cancel that, seems to have stopped :)

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

Problem with that logic is that people with a £30 media streamer can access the iPlayer red button content.

But paying £1080 a year for my Virgin Media subs doesn't.

That's where my frustration lies.

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

Virgin's V box platform is technically not capable of receiving the CRB content due to the way the BBC have chosen to distribute it.

The BBC has an obligation to make it's content as widely available as possible, and have chose 'Connected' devices as the future way to do that. So if that covers both TiVo and a '£30 Media Streamer' then that's achieving that aim.

It's then your choice as to which route you go down.

Re: Glasto Red Button channels
 

Fair enough.They could have at least explained this somewhere at the time though. Just a message saying "For Non Tivo users to get live coverage please go to the BBC website"

By the time I had realised that - the stuff I wanted to watch was long gone.
