There is, however, no reason why broadcasters could not make the red dot semi-transparent, such as the BBC logos used on some of their channels, and I would welcome a change such as this.

You prove my point... you know where the good "interactive " content is (it is not really interactive - it is just more content)
Ie
Wimbedon
playcam (pah)
fanzone
champions league
multiscreen news 24 and sky news
There is no reason why pressing the red button should not open these services without a stupid dot on the screen all the time
I know i can get useful content by pressing the teletext button I don't need an on screen prompt to tell me
In truth the broadcasters could be more effective in the way they did this
eg for Wimbledon they could have bbc1a bbc1b bbc1c etc for the different courts with navigation via the epg.
The red button is only there to point to the **** "interactive" content which costs us money and lines Ruperts pockets quizes and games etc. It is unjustified to spoil our viewing to flog this rubbish. In truth most interactivity is **** and we are better off without it. Sorry RamJet I will complain if it is inflicted on NTL customers
