Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button

Do we have an answer to the question of why the interactive service is not availabe outside the matches? According to the BBC web site there should be highlights available through the service.

When I looked, they were showing the goal highlights.

Well i certainly can't access the interactive service outside the BBC matches.
Are you ex C&W or Original NTL? Perhaps that has something to do with it??

Re: [Merged]Interactive and the Red Button

i am on langley.and there is no interactive content OUTSIDE of the matches on B.B.C. However i dont care about content outside of the match all i care about is the Interactivity with the program that is being aired at that very second. ...... ive waited a while and am very satisfied.
I can however understand why some people need the highlights if you either

1) miss the match live
2) miss the highlights at night on B.B.C 1 if you work late shifts
3) But to be honest the highlights on BBC i are very short..VERY short

Ex-cwc. It's not there now, but the goal highlights were definitely there. I couldn't say when they were taken off.

What is like? The way they are describing it, it sounds only like match stats and news. Nothing like what the BBC have done.
