I'm not sure how you managed to get teletext with or without the red button on BBC (no other station offers it besides Sky Sports, yes I really need to know the latest transfer reports or which manager's been sacked) as I just got this billet doux straight from the horse's mouth:

" Red button
Sky Sports Red Button functionality is now available on TiVo. We've been working hard to launch BBC Red Button services on TiVo and we'll be starting the roll out soon."

Well at least I now know. Why 'working hard' to get something we already had till a couple of weeks ago (despite raising our rental price by 40%) is required god alone knows, but surely if we've had it since day one why was it necessary to renegotiate the fees with BBC when everyone needed a Tivo this month?
