Looks as if Sky will be missing out on the new service:

It's not looking likely that the nifty new Red Button services will come to Sky though.
Daniel Danker, general manager of BBC programmes and on demand at the BBC told us, "Sky is a closed platform – I shouldn't even call it a platform, it's a closed service. There's no open platform to develop into. I have no line of sight of Connected Red Button coming to Sky unless they shift their approach."
