I think you need to keep going 'Up'.

As far as red button's concerned there is still another text button on the Tivo remote, so was clearly built to do that as well.
Actually the 'Text' button is specific to the VM version of TiVo. It's not on the US version. I think it was put there as 'in case' as it's on the V box remotes too - but has never done anything Virgin related. However if you've set up the remote to control your TV, then 'Text' is input select

And finally Freeview has text/red button on non-BBC channels, any chance we'll ever get any as well?
You mean like you can on NatGeo and Sky Sports? For the most part 'Red Button' is just a way to access interactive services connect to a channel. TiVo has a dedicates apps section - so there are apps there from PBS America, Cartoon Network and CNBC - which would normally be classed as 'Red Button'
