lonny has a little shameless behaviour in the past
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
