sorry spiderplant forgot. So the sky sports red button could just appear without a software update. BBC red button in year or so will be worthless when the BBC reduce the streams on all platforms to 1 after olympics. The BBC when look to put the streams on IPTV. which means Tivo.

2.1.7 Reductions in transmission spend
The cost of transmitting the BBC’s services is predicted to rise significantly as platforms proliferate, which in turn reduces the amount we can spend on content. The BBC must aim to contain these costs wherever possible while continuing the journey to a fully digital future. This will involve some difficult choices, particularly as we ramp down outdated or transitional transmission technologies. We therefore propose:
• A phased reduction of broadcast Red Button services, reducing the number of interactive streams to one across all platforms and exploring
the longer-term transition to IPTV technologies
