Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
BTtv has all 10 in their EPG in SD and HD.

I don't see why Virgin can not put Red Button 5 in EPG even if part-time. Sky don't have it in their EPG but do have lots a part-time channels that go completely off air for hours, or even weeks.

Sky use streams for much of their Red Button coverage. You get SD from satellite but the SkyQ box switches to a stream and provides HD for the same programme.

I guess the justification for BT Sport Ultimate is that it is recordable. The discussions were mainly around the red button services not being recordable, so could easily be replaced with IPTV streams.
